Can you do that in a Camaro?

I had a buddy who used a 2-guage pod from a mustang and mounted it upside down on the ceiling, just in front of the t-tops. Worked out OK I gather...

good luck...

i have two on a panel built into the radio bezel that replaces where the two vents are above the radio. i don't have HVAC in the car though so i wasn't worried about blocking off any vents

I think i will need to go to Toms Oats chevy and talk to there race mechanic there....he would know some cool locations for some more gauges...as for the gauges getting a turbo + TNT F1 kit want to be able to monitor EVERYTHING and make sure nothing goes wrong with my car trying to be safe rather then sorry lol. as for Tech...wont even respond to that...not worth it to respond to little children .

Thanks all for your help
