C6 guages

Which gauges match closest to the dash cluster? Looking for Electric Fuel Pressure, Vac/Boost and maybe WB A/F.

I did Autometer Nexus Gauges.

Are you going to end up doing a APS kit after all?

No, a ProCharger F1C. I love the APS TT, it was just too far out of my budget.

Those are nice. I was thinking those could not be yours living in Texas you would die without the vents. Anyone using the Auto Meter ProComp or Cobalt series?

Is it worth getting a wide band A/F monitor or just go with fuel and boost?

F1? Whoooo!! You're about to enter the outer edge of stock block abilities. Anyway, Nexus won't match instrument cluster, Cobalt ot Sport Comp with LED bulb is best choice.

It's a great tool for a tuner being it's a true wideband which will read in real time and can be connected to a datalogger/laptop if need be. Also, you'll be needing an 02 bung for the wideband sensor...typically a muffler shop charges $80-100.

I love the Nexus gauges and wanted them when I installed mine, but there is no red line in the C6 dash gauges.

Does it matter if I go with something like the Autometer wideband or do I need something like the Innovate LM-1? I want to make sure that I tuning software at a later date, it will be compatible.

Yeh Buddy! Its going to be bad a$$ for sure. Planning a forged Warhawk 427 / ETP LS7 build for the winter and wanted to have a head unit I could grow into. I am shooting for ~525rwHP with a very conservative tune on this build and ~750-800 on the 427. Although it's only a couple hundred more to go 454. Stay tuned.

I have the nexus fuel pressure, and boost gauges. Very cool looking gauges. I also have the innovative lc-1 with DB wide band air fuel gauge. If your running FI i would suggest a wide band to know your a/f ratio, boost and fuel pressure.

I'm not speaking for "drewcorvette", but don't fool with mechanical gauges. Spend a few extra bucks and do it right.
