Default gauges

What are you guys using for gauges?
I don't want the old style for a new car, matching the oem gauges would be great but also thinking of something cool.
I found 2 cool styles glowshift that change colors and are black when off and depo that look like oem but have either a warning light and recall or digital readout, but they are cheap so not sure.

Aeroforce Interceptor. No need for multiple gauges or pods.

May have been popular in the 60's 70's and 80's, but doesn't look so good in modern-day muscle cars. I use Dashtronix. It's integrated into the DIC AND the HUD. Thats forward-thinking and streamlined!

Does the Dashtronix display boost, fuel pressure and air/fuel mixture? If yes, where can you purchase?

Does a calculated boost using MAF pressure and barometer. Supports two 5v external feeds which could be from an AFR and Fuel Pressure sending unit.

Palmer Performance (a vendor on this forum) sells them. I have one and really like it's integration into the HUD and DIC units for it's display. Also has an integrated mild to wild.

You can find videos on youtube of it.. Problem is filming the HUD because it always looks 30 yards away by the camera's view heh.

i am also running dashtronix in my car, i love it, anything you want is right there on the HUD or DIC, plus you can set up audible alerts for all kinds of things, and no need for a remote or M2W switch to open the exhaust, with dashtronix you do it right from the door panel.

You guys keep saying "dashtronix". But you are really talking about DASHLOGIC by Palmer Performance. As far as I can tell, Dashtronix (which is a completely different company) has gone out of business. As of the time of this post, www.dashtronix.com is now redirected to a dummy landing page.

DashLogic does pretty much everything Dashtronix can do plus so much more. I love mine, and highly recommend it! I get the factory look, along with 0-60 times, horsepower, torque, etc. and I can control my NPP exhaust with it too.

I am surprised there is no fuel psi.
Cool, but it gets expensive after you buy all the sensor modules ,There are package deals for 1 sensor but not 2 and you can only run 2 when they sell 3.
I don't care about the npp switch because its always open anyway.
Im also surprised the sensors are not wireless with this kind of technology.
So its this cool system that does other cool stuff for around $600.00 or a set of gauges for $200.00 ,If I did not have to run wires and mount sensors I would buy it.

You don't have to add any extra sensors, it is not required. The Corvette NON-ZR1 models do not report fuel pressure. C6 Corvettes do not offer AFR on any model, so the only way to see it is a non factory sensor. We can give you commanded AFR if you want to view that. We give you every useful PID the vehicle offers over the BUS without adding anything else to the package. You only need to add a sensor if you need to see something that the car simply doesn't have.

More info is good, but does anyone have a story were they had a boost gauge save the day? I guess to me it seems like all that could be good if you have quality work done in the first place.

I run a Dashlogic to monitor OBD PIDs through the DIC/HUD and have an Autometer Boost gauge and Innovate AFR gauge mounted in a pod.
