Extra gauges go where???
Ok, I know you Forced Induction guys have some extra gauges for boost and probably a/f ratio. Where do you put them? Pics would be helpful if you've got any. Thanks

Autometer makes a cluster that goes on the A pillar. I'm going to be doing this this winter.
You should be getting plenty of pics from other people soon.

Link at the bottom of my Signature will take you to my photo gallery one picture will show the gauges. I got mine from Summit that was several years ago at that time no one made a pillar pod for three gauges so I bought a single and a double modified them and they look like factory install. :seeya

Re: Extra gauges go where??? (black bart)
well, I'm not so sure I need three extra gauges. I think one or two would do just fine for me. I guess the consensus is to put them on the pillar.

I guess the consensus is to put them on the pillar.
I mounted a boost gauge and electronic A/F gauge in my cup holders beside my shifter. I built a couple of simple holders using plastic card (hard sheet of plastic), glue and matte black paint. The setup looks like it matches the contours of the Vette and looking in from the outside the car looks pretty stock unless you know there are not suppose to be guages beside the shifter.
I'll try to get some pics up asap and shouldn't be too difficult now that I've found my digital camera.
