I would do boost pressure and oil pressure or fuel pressure on the pillar and then they make a gauge spot that goes on the steering column not blocking the way of the speedo or tach and put a wideband in that spot so you can watch the a/f gauge while watching the tach. Just an idea.

ive been having this debate with myself too. im going to run boost in a steering column pod. then wideband a/f and oil pres in a cluster bezel pod. the debate for me is between the oil and fuel pres. while both are important for now i just want to run 3 gagues.

if later i decide i need more il get a SOS pillar pod with water temp and fuel pres.

i have a 3 gauge pillar pod,with boost ,oil pressure and oil temp but dont have the oil temp hooked up. I forgot where i bought it from but they are smoked so when the car is off you cant see the gauges and when you start it up the gauges look like night time gauges, black backround with the numbers in blue and the stick is orange, they look cool, but it was maybe $10 more to go with the 3 pillar thab the 2 pillar

Lol don't you guys already have oil pressure in your stock bezel? What years didnt? My 2003 GT has oil pressure at the lower right. A/F is quite useful outside of just tuning. Boost and A/F IMO.

Go with the speed of sound 2 gauge pillar from AM. It replaces you stock pillar piece with theirs that matches the interior. No drilling required like you do with the others. I say on the 2-pillar for with a boost and oil temp. Then get the single column gauge pod for the steering wheel and put an A/F gauge in their. This is what I have done in my cobra

Edit: If your going to do an A/F make sure its a wideband.

the stock oil pressure gauge is inaccurate. its more of a dummy gauge to just let you know that there is pressure present.

OP: aeroforce interceptor. do it.

+1 for making sure the a/f gauge is wideband.

I don't see a/f in the aeroforce interceptor unless it is broken up into different settings or something, so I guess that would be in addition? I need some of these gauges as well.

2 user configurable analog inputs**
** 0-5v inputs can be configured to read the outputs from MAP sensors, Air/Fuel ratio kits, pressure or temperature sensors, etc


yeah it looks like that would have to be an addition.
