Default Gauges?

Whos got what? I was thinking of adding a Boost gauge in a pod due to the more boost I m going to be running. Heres the dumb qustions, should I get a boost/vac or just a boost gauge. Does the Eaton have vacuum is what I m trying to get at. I know like a Vortech etc will have vac. as well as a turbo etc. but wasn't sure on a roots type charger.

I just got the AEM Wideband Air/Fuel installed on the steering colum bracket. I love it, you should get one if you dont have one already.

AFT: How do you like your Accufab throttle body? Did you notice any gain from it and did you have any problems with it?

i was looking more for an A/F and a boost, one of those pieces that replaces the trim around the guage cluster.

I bet the car would dyno higher with the accufab, but i think its just minor enough to where you wont tell, the throttle response is better though.
I HAD the Accufab inlet + throttle body + C&L tube + K&N FIPK..... car sounded like a fricken jet... intake was soooo loud

I actually have it sitting in my closet as well as the pulley and pulley tensioner and other parts thats going to get install including the tune on May 5th (Earlyest I could make the appointment). From what I was just told, the single blade isn't the best to go with and is a pain to dyno tune with? I might end up selling it to go with a twin blade but not sure. I also want to sell my JLT cai to get the Steeda filter with a C&L inlet pipe.

Nice! Did you notice any problems with your rpm hanging or dropping to low? I've been tossin around the idea of getting the billetflow TB + plenum combo. Do you have any pics of it on your car?

^ not yet, once its all on there I ll post some pictures. Whats neat is that the speed shop is going to do a base line and then a tune so I ll be able to see how much hp I gained with the mods. I ll post that up too. Can't wait to be able to say actually how much she pushing vs a round about number.
