Vortech Gauges?
I looked up some stuff on Gauges but most of the stuff was over a year old. Trying to see if anythings better or more cost effective now. I will be going in the shop hopefully two weeks from Monday. I am trying to figure which gauges to get. Advice? Pics of current setups?
Thanks!

SOo I can run NO gauges NO problem? Gauges would be useless?
my car is very dialed in. But on a new install, build, it better to keep an eye on things.
The only gauge i ever really look at now is my oil pressure gauge. I also kinda glance at my fuel pressure gauge as well.
You can tell if your AFR is off enough to cause problems. I dont really care about my boost, and only usually look at it when driving to save gas (more vacuum better gas mileage)
And like I said, unless you are logging for trends, if something was so bad to grenade your motor, by the time you see it on your gauge, its too late anyhow.

thanks for the quick response? What's the other gauge you have up there that I'm not seeing? How much was yours gauges and pod all together? I might have to go back for gauges a couple weeks after install, buying the charger than the install all within two weeks put a bit of a damper in the pocket
^thats only a 2 gauge pod.
pillar pods are cheap and easiest place to mount gauges.
I've got a wideband but never really look at it anymore. But I do log when I go to the track, so at least 2x a month I get a full look at how the car is running.

I have some nice gauges that have full warranty in case anything fails for sale if u are interested. I'm installing the HKS CAMP2 so I don't need these anymore.
