Mechanical or Electrical Gauges???

RE: Mechanical or Electrical Gauges???
Thanks for the help fellas, I went ahead and got two gauges. The two were autometer ultra-lite series one was a mechanical nitrous pressure gauge, and I got an electrical water temp. gauge. I got this gauge pod....here. I really fell in love with this gauge pod, I love how sleeper it looks. I can't wait to use the nitrous on some unsuspecting ls1's.

I have never had a problem with a mechanical oil pressure gauge inside the car and have had them in multiple cars for years. The wise thing to do is not to use the plastic tubing (or copper for that matter) and buy the braided stainless line.
The Nitrous Gauge will be mechanical as well, I dont believe AutoMeter offers and electric version.

safety is the main reason. you dont want oil flowing into your cabin and other stuff like fuel.

Using a mechanical gauge for something like oil pressure or fuel pressure is NOT smart. I could be wrong, but I also think it won't pass tech inspection at some tracks, not to mention being street legal?
The electrical gauges are more expensive, but it pays off. Something about me/the interior of my car just doesn't want to be getting sprayed with nitrous/oil/fuel at any time, let alone after a highspeed wreck when the car is upside down and possibly on fire
The electrical are easyer to hook up, cause 99.99 percent of gauges you need to run power to anyway (lighting), so either you're running wires or running wires and a hose. They won't spray anything all over you in a wreck either.
Electrical FTW
