Default Check Gauges light flashing

I noticed tonight that if im at WOT my check gauges light will strobe. Its only above 3000 rpm or so as well. I tried in 5th and 6th but it didnt light up so i went to 4th and it strobed. Any ideas, N2O wasnt activated so im sure its not amp draw from the kit. Thanks

My check gauges light came one when my oil pressure gauge dropped to zero.

When the check gauges light blink check to see if any of the gauges look to be in beyond normal.

ill look, didnt see anything out of the ordinary. My temp gauge has always read low just a lil over 160. Where is the temp sensor for the gauge located at?

Mine came on when my serp belt flew apart on the highway, most likely because my alt was no longer spinning, causing the volt meter to drop pretty quick. Maybe at higher rpms your alt is cutting out?

dont exactly know what you mean by that, the tach is working fine. I did tap into it for my window switch and the previous owner did a number on white wire 10 but I rewired it and the tach works flawlessly. Ill check into the belt, ill replace it since it problly needs to be, what about the adjustable tensioners?
