Center console ashes
I don't like the a pillar gauges to much and it gives it away you have a blower. I was wondering where I can buy a gauge pod that's built in to the console. I found the pictures but can't find them for sale. If I have to do the a pillar pod I will but really like the looks of this.

Here is what Dennis did for me.
Cost was about $450 for everything. That included the cost of a new center console as mine was Monterey red and I sold it. Also included the cost for the Hydrocarbon finish.

3 or 4 days, if I remember correctly. The real question is how much of backlog does he have. You will get your best answers by simple calling him and have your list of questions in front of you.
Now the time I gave you was just for the fiber glass work. You also have to allow for shipping time, and in my case there was also the time for shipping in it out for the Hydro dipping and then they ship it back to him for final inspection. Try to think the whole process through and base your questions on that.

It scares the hell out of me thinking about looking down to read the gauges under boost at 100+ MPH. On the pillar they are at least in your peripheral view. Guess you could put the ones that you don't need real time feedback.

I bought the three gauge A-pillar pod. But I was wanting my meth flow gauge and my oil pressure gauge on the console. I have the boost gauge, wideband AFR gauge, and my fuel pressure gauge going on the A-pillar. Thanks for the help.

It needs to be setup to take the human element out of it because we can't react as fast.
I did a pulls last Tuesday and Saturday and there's no way I could have told you my boost without a recall function.

Anyone looking at their gauges at 100+ is a retard. There's no information you're going to be able to gather using your peripherals other than seeing a warning light, if your gauges have that feature.

Most times I just look for the color green on the band of my autometer nexus AFR gauge(red/yellow/green) and the meth light glowing on my pillar gauge at that speed. The actual analysis of the numbers come after the run .

I look to see if my meth light is lit and glance at my wideband at the start of a pull. I've only ever let out when the wideband flashes at me indicating a lean condition. I've been meaning to also hook a piezo speaker to the output so I have audible as well as visual during a lean condition. I've set my phone in my cup holder and had the Torque app running to monitor timing and IAT. Completely useless to try and monitor way down there. I plan on putting on a dash mount for my phone so I can at least have it in my peripheral.

For stealth reasons I decided to go with a Dashtronix Gauge Projector unit. It displays my A/F and boost right in my HUD. Works great.
I know it doesn't answer your specific question but I just thought I would mention it is case you were unaware of such devices.

Great solution, especially with HUD so you never have to take your eyes off the road...
