Officially one of my favorite cars here. I like it a lot because its not over the top. You and TycoRC if you were wondering who the person was.

Cut wideband into defroster vent, since that was the only spot I could find to fit a fourth gauge and mounted custom molded gauge pillar

Looking forward to see the gauges all fired up, what are you monitoring, Oil pressure, oil temp, boost, and AFR?

I need to pick gauges soon too. Want something that all matches and something I can change the colour of...

Man, you are good. Those are the exact gauges i'm running...I cant wait to see everything working together. I should be picking up the car today, I was told last night only things missing were filling fluids and installing a couple of belts. Fingers crossed

Just guessing, most guys usually pick Oil pressure or Oil Temp, and I think most pick Temp.
Personally I'm with you, I'd want both. I'd love to get something rigged up for AFR on a tiny screen I could put in the Main cluster, but I guess there's not a ton out there to do this with. Most guys just get normal gauges.

that's SIIIICCCK dude so you'll be driving within a week for sure, Looking very forward to the reviews here

I'll be boosting @ 114-120 when the time comes. It's not advisable
Low boost like a standard Vortech kit is fairly safe though, about as safe as boost gets on a stock setup.

Very nice!

If you plan to track or do any thing like that I'd suggest you also get a temp gauge on the trans. I was hearing boosted ATs hitting 300F on the Dragon with a cooler.
