Default Looking for a little input on gauges for my Firehawk

I have been looking at three different kinds of Autometer gauges

1. ES series

2. Sport Comp II

3. Sport Comp Digital


My car has ebony interior, so I want a black faced gauge


I am really leaning towards the sport comp digital gauges, just wanted a second opinion.


any input is appreciated


thanks

Oh...........I need to add this

I am using trans temp, fuel pressure, and boost/vac

the sport comp II through summit would be 600 for all of them

the sport comp digital through summit would be 460 for all

Hell get two interceptors for 389.00 and they'll do all of that for you.

I like the Prosport gauges. They don't have a trans temp, but you could use a water temp gauge I would think.

dude, I just looked at the interceptor gauges and I'm sold.............thanks for the recomendation.

I already have the sport comp II boost gauge and an autometer fuel pressure and trans temp......................It's just mismatched right now

The interceptor will measure fuel pressure, right.................just have to buy the sensor for it??

My question is I want to read oil pressure and air fuel. How much more does that cost to get the wiring and is it difficult to install them?

I think I am going to keep my sport comp II boost gauge, get a sport comp II fuel gauge and use the interceptor for my trans/ coolant temp gauge.


the only thing is with the interceptor it won't work while I am using hp tuners on the car

I had an Interceptor for my old GTP. Probably the best gauge ever. Don't know why I didn't take that out when I sold it.
