Default A pillar pod guys, come in!

I just picked up a dual gauge pod for my T/A and was curious as to what everyone runs on them? I was thinking about Water temp and A/F Ratio..Eventually I'll be spraying so at that point I'll throw in a 3 gauge pod bu for now it's a two..anyone else have any other things they run in there? Oil temp? Oil Psi? I know we have PSI and Water temp on the panel, but both can throw some pretty wacky readings from what I've heard and seen.

Well I'm an M6 guy so Trans temp isn't AS important to me since I obviously don't run with a stall, I was thinking maybe A/f in the center vent, then doing Oil PSI and Water temp in the pillar. TOO MANY OPTIONS!!!

Any sites you could point me into the direction of? Sponsor preferably, if not anything is fine, I just prefer digital readouts, especially for night-time..

I bought Cyberdyne gauges. The reason was they are priced very reasonable in price and they have a lifetime warranty. I think I bought them Summit. I have had to exchange one and they didn't give me any hassle. I honestly don't know what if any sponsors sell gauges.

Alright, thanks for the tips, you know of any good write ups on installing any gauges? Or would it just be easier to take it to a shop that does that kind of stuff, I'm definatly not a wiring or electrical guy.

if you go look on the summit website at the gauge you are looking at, it lets you view the instructions in a PDF file, so you can see that none of it looks that hard. its about as good as any writeup youll find.

Sooooo you just bought a gauge pod because you wanted to put gauges on the pillar just for looks?
