Ok, I have to ask. Where are all those gauges going? We'll need some pictures!

Were it me, I'd like to see some actual coolant temperature numbers rather than hash marks on a goofy, factory gauge.

I've had an idea in my head to cut out the 3 - 4" circles in the dash insert and replace all the factory gauges with aftermarket in a custom cluster.

Drive pressure gets my vote-excellent for tuning and fun to watch:)

real water temp, the factory gauge is more of an idiot light.

I do like the look of the Optix gauges!! Is there a website to find them on? I can't recall having any luck looking for them.

They closed down a few years back it was a father daughter company and I guess he retired and they stopped making em. Only leftovers and used units now.

I measure my oil temps at the plug above the filter. Mimics the coolant temp as well.

I vote vacuum gauge at the brake booster.[coffee]

I have one extra spot for a gauge and I want to put in an ambient temperature gauge. Nice to know how cold it is outside!

Why? Just to monitor brake vacuum?
