RE: Gauges?
That's the nice thing about leaving it attached to the car, he didn't have to hold it down while drilling.
If you measure 3 times by matching the back of the gauge to the hole saw then take a punch to the dead center where you want to start there is no way you can mess up.
When I did mine there was a vendor on another site that was selling them pre drilled for $70.00, but I wasn't willing to spend that for a hole. You will be able to do it I am sure.

so I just talked to saleen, and since they only offer the black face gauges I decided to not get them.. I am going with all white face gauges, so I am going to do the autometer gauges myself

So 2 weeks from today I am dropping my car off at saleen to have them install a super charger. I couldnt get myself to pay them $600 to install 2 gauges tho..
I would like to add 3 gauges, boost, intercooler water temp, and fuel preasure. Do those sound like a good idea?
only gauge pod I found so far that hold 3 is the one from american muscle, I dont like the way it looks.. just looks bad sitting up on the dash like that.. doesnt look integrated at all
http://www.americanmuscle.com/20mugapod.html
They also have the ford racing gauges
http://www.americanmuscle.com/compet...-pressure.html
are those any good?
Looking for recomendations so I can order, and right when I get the car back I can install gauges..

1. The boost gauge is teh suck. You need a nice responsive mechanical boost/vacinstead.
2. The dual gauge pod while it looks decent in the pictures is really cheesy IRL.
3. I can say the lighting is very good on both the boost and the intake charge (really the intercooler water) temp
4. The styling of the gauge face and indicators won't match anything else and Saleen makes no other gauges.
I'm going to start switching over to the Cobalts over the winter.
