Default A-Pillar Gauge install

Here's a pic of my A-Pillar Gauges installed! Could'nt be any happier with them. They are both Autometer 'Sport Comp' Series and at the top pod is the Air/Fuel Ratio and the bottom is Transmission Temperature. Tell me what you think. Post yours if you have them too!...


Pic is'nt that good but you get the idea..
An instant 5hp!!!!

Tell me what you think.
Install looks clean from here, any other angles? Looks like your steering wheel is really high, watch out for hitting your ingers on the lower one. I did that during an autocross once turning left hard and ripped my entire pillar off. :lol:

You might get really sick of the A/F gauge quickly. It'll bounce around like a mad man unless you are at full throttle and even then they aren't very accurate at all in the narrow band setup they are.

I like the look of it alot. My Summit catalog only shows a single pod, where did you get a dual pod sed up? I like the guages too. I want a trans temp gauge with another tip I just read about a trans pan mod. You guys are the best!!!!

They make a double and a single. Black Bart "grafted" the single into the double to make triple. Boost, fuel pressure, and air/fuel. :cool:
