Default boost gauges for SCs

are you all going with mechanical or electrical gauges...i am going with a 2 1/16 so i am looking now and I would prefer an electrical but I wanted to see the pros and cons of either way. I assume all are going with autometer for the most part

I went with the Saleen gauges and regret it. The lighting is uneven between the two and the boost gauge leaves a lot to be desired in terms of accuracy and response.

I'm going to swap over to the Cobalt gauges over the winter. Mechanical Vac/Boost (because of the responsiveness/accuracy - thanks Casey!) and then electrical A/F, and intake temp.

Mechanical boost/vac will respond a lot faster than an electrical one...
