gauges...or monitor??
gauges...or monitor??
I'm gonna buy one or the other here with my christmas money from the family. I like that the Quad Commander has all the features and it's compact. I like that I can keep my handle on the a-pillar as well. But I like regular gauges, seeing those needles rise is awesome. I'm just not sure of where to put them, I really want to keep the handle. But I also don't want to look that far away from the road to stare at my gauges. It's a big dilemma to me and I just can't decide. What would you guys do? I'm thinking of going with Isspro analog gauges. Boost, pyro, and 30# fuel pressure. Also where's the cheapest place to get monitors or other gauges?
I toiled over this with my new truck. I had Isspros in the old one and loved them, no issues at all. I ended up with Di-Pricols in this one, like them very much too.
I am STILL not apposed to a monitor, price isn't even worth arguing over it's so close. I guess what really swung me is the people that were claiming to not have full visibility depending on lighting, glare in some situations and whatnot. That and the at a glance advantage of where the needle is in the sweep (like fuel pressure sitting at about 11 O'clock looks "normal" to me at a glance).
It's a toss up.......

I just ditched my dipricols for a commander....I am so glad to get rid of my rattly dipricol boost gauge
they look and work great but no matter how I tied the tubing up I still had a rattle when I got on it hard
(even after I had it warrantied once)
Dipricol and then isspro are still my choice in analog....but I am really impressed with my commander.
so as of right now I say get the commander

I really like the SPA dual gauges. You can have a combo EGT/boost gauge in a SRT-10 single pod pillar w/the handle. They're very accurate and have programmable alarms and a peak recall feature. The recall thing is really handy because you can keep your eyes on the road and still know the true max readings during a run.
There's some pics in my gallery if you're interested.

I think the fuel pressure sender is extra, adds up to somewhere around $50 more than you would spend on analogs with all the related fittings if my memory serves me.
I like analog gauges but with a commander there are a lot more functions than just gauges. Setting defuel points, data logging, etc. The flickering numbers drove me nuts, and thats why I got rid of it. To each his own.
