Default my new "gauge cluster"



finally got a good tach and a shift light and while mounting decided i needed a better place to mount my wide band computer. i get a lot of info from just these 3 "gauges"

the tach of course displays the rpms (and time to shift via the light)

the wide band (black box) displays afr as a digital number and displays lambda. it also records afr and rpm for 44 minutes when i want it to.

the pms displays (digitally)
rpms
the current program in the pms im running (i can store 3)
maf voltage
voltage of each narrow band o2 sensor
water temp
incoming air temp
vac/boost
fuel injector pulse width (in miliseconds)
fuel injector duty capacity (in percent)
percentage of throttle
load the motor is under (pms allows for different tunes based on engine load)

the 3 small gauges below the radio are water temp, oil pressure and voltage


just thought you guys would like to see. the pms cable will eventually get wrapped around the passenger side so its not in the way. and no, i dont have ac so its no problem the vents are covered

the wires can be cleaned up, i just did it in a rush. also, its hard to go for a clean look when your car looks like it belongs on the track. no more sleeper look for me 275 MT in the rear, 165 tire up front, full roll cage, loud sc, lopey cam, 4" cowl that doesnt match the paint on the rest of the car.......oh well. its fun and turns heads. most people only see my rear bumper anyways

not in any attempt to steal your thread... but i want some opinions on gauges... I know autometer is a really good brand, but its also really expensive. but what about the other brands like sunpro, stewart warner or the ford racing tach?
