Look like a good product if you want spend the money. I took a stock LS1 oil sensor, broke the plastic part off, drilled and taped it for 1/8" NPT and it does the same as those, just doesn't look as good, but then I can't see it in place anyway.

I just drilled and tapped the little removable cover that goes above the oil filter.
What I really need is an adapter to use my stock temp sending unit. I see they have one to adapt to a 1/8th unit, but mine is larger.
I really need to find a way to make it work or find a 1/8" sending unit that will work with my factory gauge, I don't like not having a temp gauge.
EDIT: as far as experience with speedway, they are great, that's where I got my front springs and height adjusters

I bought a similar one from equus for my oil pressure sensor. Two bucks less and comes with 4 adapters, including a water temp one. The water temp one is pretty worthless unless your temp sensor is 1/8 npt.

Couldn't see drilling out a $50 oil pressure sensor to save $8.

+ 1, I was able to adapt both from this kit.

I bought a 3rd gen f-body aftermarket cluster from a member that had the water temp adapter with it. I went to install it Saturday, as it just started to snug up I felt it give and backed it out, thinking I had stripped the threads of either the adapter or head. Both looked fine, so I tried again and this time the threads broke off of the adapter in the head.
I went ahead and ordered another (from Summit), guess I'm a glutton for punishment. But, the other one was used. . .
