So Many Decisions....Boxes, Monitors, Programmers, Gauges

I was pretty much set on a Smarty with Dipricol gauges but now I'm not sure. There are sooooo many options out there! I was wondering what everybodies thoughts were. I just saw the new TS monitor with the heads up display that monitors fuel pressure and I like it. Box with monitor, box with gauges, gauges with programmer???

Smarty with the Optix. Nothing like the look of the gauges.

Well there are more combinations to choose from than you listed. That is part of the problem making the right decision. For two years I tried a lot of different boxes and downloaders and combinations.

I installed analog guages before any other mods and am happy with that decision. No matter what I add or remove I still have my gauges to tell me what is going on.

My sig shows my 5 standalone gauges that I have now. The TST remote also has its own pyro sensor installed. I have had the Juice/Attitude monitor and it was nice to monitor some of the other engine parameters, but have the primary ones covered with my standalone gauges.

You can't go wrong with gauges and a Smarty, but a few other good options out there now.

You could always go Quad box with the commander and stack a Smarty later.
