What gauges to get?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've got auto meter sport comps on the pillar now. The pyro is the old style with the little control box under the dash. It took a dump on me and the boost gauge only goes to 35psi, so it's basically worthless past 1/2 throttle Would like to go triple pillar so I can add fuel pressure in the future. So, what's a good gauge? Would like 60psi boost and am back and forth with a 2k pyro..are they hard to read due to smaller numbers? Also, when the time comes, what psi FP gauge should I get? Any vendor recommendations? I'm in NY. Any and all opinions/suggestions welcomed!

I run the autometer ultra lite and I've been pretty happy with them. I have a 60 psi boost gauge which I don't even use half of lol, pryo, and trans temp.

 

I'm an Isspro fan myself.. The new EV2's are pretty nice, have them in my 08. I have the old school EV in my 97.. I wouldn't bother going to the 2K pyro. so what if its 1500 or 1600 tops, thats more than you should see anyway. I have hit the peg a few times in the 97 to about the 3 second delay. That is it comes down after 3 seconds on the peg... I don't want to know how hot it was..

 

I have had good luck with my Z series autometer, I have a 0-1600 degree pyro and a 0-60PSI boost gauge. No problems to report.
My boss reciently bought some Shift-Glow gauges, they sure do look pretty but the hardware kits that come with the gauges I wouldnt trust on a clown car. The boost line blew apart already after 2000 miles, and the pyro reads 200 degrees at idle and about 500 at WOT. (pre turbo) I checked over the connections on the pyro gauge and probe wires, and all is good.
I guess he got pyro,boost and fuel press along with a pillar for 175.00 he was sayin. Now he wishes he went with something of quality...

 

Im running Stewart Warner Performance Series. White face orange pointer 2000 Deg Pyro, 60psi Boost, Trans Temp and 30psi Fuel pressure. Been in truck for about 4 years and never had any problems...

 

Thanks for the replies, fellas. I'm thinking about sticking with the autometer, but will have a look at the SW perf series today. As for the pyro, yeah, after a point, do I really want to know?! LOL!

 

Glow-Shift..... You get what you pay for. Autometer/Isspro have been around for years and are worth the money. I have had both.

 

I have the autometer z series and can't complain one bit about them. 1600* pyro is plenty, I have a 100psi boost gauge and it isnt tough to glance at and get an accurate reading (I kept pegging the 60psi). Go with 60psi on the fuel pressure but it will be loud if you mount it in the cab. Depending on your plans for the truck you can use the 3rd mount for a drive pressure gauge to keep things in check.
