Electric or Mechanical Gauges? Hi guys, just looking at getting some gauges to better monitor things and was debating between electric and mechanical gauges. Didn't really know what to go with, I've heard that the mechanical gauges are more accurate but a lot more of a pain with all the hard lining and everything. I've been doing some research but don't want to make a wrong decision. Just let me know what you guys think?

don't know if this is the forum for this question, but anyways I chose electric. Most electric gauges are full sweep for for starters. I also run a fuel pressure gauge and with a mechanical you have to mount it outside the cabin. I also didn't want to run a nitrous line through my dash up the a-pillar into my gauge, so that's another thing.

Yea, that's one of the things that I hate about mechanicals, hard lining everthing. I know that electric gauges are still pretty accurate but is there any major difference in accuracy?

what are you looking to monitor? aerocraft scan gauge reads everything the puter reads and can display 2 parameters at a time. very easy install to..plug into ob2 port and a switched 12volt source.
