With the gauges there, how do you get your heat/AC, does it blow out at 500 MPH in the other vents?

I have blocked off my center vents in my Camaro and the air only blows out a little faster on the sides. I was thinking about making some sort of panel gauge myself.

What are those digital gauges called. I know Autometer makes them but I dont know the model name.

Thanks unit! I've been meaning to take some evening pics w/ lights on.

CANNIBAL- I rarely use the heater (if i do, its the defroster) or the a/c. I'm a wndows down kinda guy. When I do use the a/c though, what does blow out of the 2 remaining vents is enough for me. Yes, It does seem to flow out a tad faster but not a lot more.

nice... im thinking that if i go for 3 guages ill have to do that in the middle they just look too classy there. but im realy thinking about just doing two guages one in the far left vent and the other on on the other side of the stock guage pod .... far left vent of the center 3... im still undecided though... i dont realy want to get an apillar pod (dont want to advertize)
