Gauges?

I have the Saleen gauges. Although I know it violates the unwritten code to ever admit you made a mistake.....
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.

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..

I was thinking more the Cobalt 2 gauges.. I like the blue illumination more than the green

What series, the NV?

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

Go to Autometer's website and do a search for Part Number 7104. That is the mechanical boost, range 0 - 35 PSI, white face, blue illumination, 2 1/16"

The Cobalt series only comes in black face. If you want white face and blue illumination you most likely want the C2 series.
Go to Autometer's website and do a search for Part Number 7104. That is the mechanical boost, range 0 - 35 PSI, white face, blue illumination, 2 1/16"
