  • Dual vs Triple A-piller guage holder

    Which is reccommended, and what guages should be used?

    I want an A-piller guage holder, but not sure what i want to display... my options are: ??

    1. exaust temp
    2. boost (future supercharger)
    3. transmission fluid temp


    ive seen, but is it worth it?
    4. outside temp
    5. tire pressure


    6. ??

    Dont' add gauges just to decorate the pillar... and some of those are not useful for anything other than that, IMHO. My own personal choices:

    In the A-pillar:
    -oil temperature (elect)
    -trans temperature (elect)

    In th A/C vents in the dash:
    -fuel pressure (elect.)
    -oil pressure (mech.)
    -nitrous pressure (mech.)

    I would avoid A/F unless you like psychedelic light shows. Vaccum/boost is obviously a good choice for the blower.

    I have an EGT sensor that is continuously recorded by my engine management computer, and I don't know how many times I've looked over the data logs and wondered if its really telling me anything.

      I agree with Fred, don't put something on there just to have something on there. If you want something useful, I suggest oil and tranny temp gauges. You can always switch to a 3 gauge later if you go with a supercharger or nitrous, they're not that expensive (the gauge holders that is).
