I didnt mean it as it looks like a joke lol.
It reminds me of a theme someone in the early 80's would sport.
Actually brings back memories from that time.

What I meant when I said hilariouis is it looks unique and matches your entire theme so well it made me giggle!

It does look like its a pretty damn big **** though is it not?
It really IS comfortable? That is one thing it does not look to me, is comfortable.

Here's mine. Both the dash and pillar pods are from SOS. Dash pod has oil pressure, trans temp and boost. Pillar has fuel pressure and wide band AF. All the gauges are Autometer.

Wow come on guys so many of you posted pics but none of you answered my question lol.

Are the main three gauges I really need the A/F wideband, Boost, and fuel Pressure?

Aeroforce Interceptor Gauge for intake air temp and fuel pressure. Cobalt Wide band air/fuel and Cobalt boost gauge. I really like them because they matched the color I keep instrument cluster. They are in an sos pillar pod.

Is there a difference between a regular air/fuel gauge and a wideband air/fuel? If so, what is the difference?

My call would be yes. If you only want to run 3. AF, boost and fuel pressure. I wanted to run a trans temp gauge, because I'm still using a stock 5R55 with the HP I'm getting. So I just added oil pressure to help me add the pillar pod.

yes, get a WIDEBAND A/F and boost. Everything else is nice to know, but really not going to help alot. The more gauges you have, the less you are driving and instead just reading instruments

If you decide to go all out on that GT500, then I would get a fuel pressure gauge as well...maybe

Gauges are Autometer Nexus series.

best setup. nice clean tribute to early years, and it's not in your face with a huge housing on the center of the dash

The difference is in the accuracy and response time. A regular A/F sensor gives an approximate reading, and takes more time to show changes in the reading. A wideband A/F gives you a better and more precise look at what's going on right now. For F/I a wideband is by far the most useful.

yeah, my last narrowband only read down to .5 units (aka: 12.5, 13.0, 13.5)...was pretty useless really

a good wideband will read .1 unit increments (aka: 12.1, 12.2 and so on)...very useful to let you know your motors status

Correct...
