Which Boost guage ?

I'm curious which Boost guage would be better, 0-35 or 0-60.

Depends on what your future plans are. 0-35 is fine for a stock truck, but won't be enough if you slap on some bombs down the road.

Guage

When using the 35psi will the guage be right at the end on a stock truck or is there some room for future mild bombing or should i just get the 60 now and be done with it. How close to the end of the guage ?

If you get the lower one the sweep distance of the gauge is larger, therfore the increments have bigger spaces between them. I installed the 0-60 gauge. I ordered my gauges through Mark Craig, they match the factory gauges nicely. I got the boost and egt with the steering colum mount.

I had this same question. If you put on some air intake upgrade (BHAF) and then a full 4" exhaust (turbo back) and then add a fueling box, is the 0-35 boost guage enough?

consider the limitations of the intercooler and head gasket, valve train (you don't want to float valves with too much head pressure). Personally I think 0-50 is a good number, but I happen to like the dual Westachs -- boost and EGT in the same analog face. one gauge on an SRT-10 pillar.

I'm thinking the same way. I have my SRT-10 post and am wanting to order the Westach combo. I'm just not sure if the 0-35 is enough, guess I'll go with the 0-60. The 0-50 would be nice.

WOW!!

If you could teach me the secret behind that one, I'd be driving a new truck like you!!

Only been married 7 years, what am I doing wrong?

You can get the SRT-10 post through the dealer (part #ZL39TL2-AA). They might tell you that it's a weird number, but they CAN get it. It replaces the whole pillar and includes the handle. It's also the stock color already.

SRT 10 ?

Is this SRT10 for one, two or three guages ? Also i suppose a guy can get the 0-35 and always upgrade later. I found the Autometer Ultra Lite guages for 40.00 US (53.00 CDN) so really peanuts in the grans scheme of things.

The SRT-10 pillar is for one guage only. Just put one in.
