gauge pod and gauges
Im looking to fine a website that sells gauge pods for my 96ss Hardtop (all i can find is the TT version), or if anyone has one. (3 pod)
Also would like to know what are the best gauges for the items below, i have heard you need to get the right A/F gauge and they make a few??
A/F Gauge ?
Boost Gauge ?
Fuel Pressure ?

I've always been a big fan of Autometer for gauges. They're a long-standing, tried and true company with a good quality product.
My A/F gauge is an AEM UEGO - wideband, has digital numerical readout and colored LED surround. It's been great to me, and it's highly recommended.
My boost gauge is an Autometer vac/boost gauge, goes up to 30 psi. It's mechanical. You could go electrical, but I think mechanical is a better way to go for a boost gauge.
My fuel pressure gauge is an Autometer, electrical. It's not the greatest idea to have a mechanical fuel pressure gauge inside the cab...because you'd be flowing fuel inside the cab. If it leaked, it would be a smelly flammable mess. Get an electric one with a sender.
As far as the pod goes, I've never really looked into one for hardtop, because I'm T-Top. I know RK Sport made a really nice one for TTop, and I think they sold a hardtop version too. Check them out.

I am not aware of anyone who makes a 3-gauge pillar pod for the 93-96 Camaro. I am only aware of them for the 97-02 Camaro and 93-02 Firebird.
I too am a big fan of Autometer (I am currently running fuel pressue, trans temp, and nitrous pressure, all electrical) and the AEM wideband.

I would recommend glowshift...I got them for my cummins last year and they are great..i only spent $150 total including shipping for the A-pillar and 3 gauges-60psi boost, 2400*egt, and trans temp- and the gauges i had were able to change about 10 different colors

i was thinking about doing the 2 and then a single, but wont that look kinda bad? on the other hand hacking up the ls1 pod might look bad too????
has anyone ever made a gauge holder that sits in the compartment on the Camaros just under the radio, that spot that holds cds or something.

If your going to boost your car and want 3 gauges, I would reccomend boost, fuel pressure, and a wideband O2. Air Fuel gauges are not accurate, and they can even play games with your PCM (not a thing you want to have going on at all when you are boosted).
As far as which ones... well there are plenty to choose from. I reccomend going with accurate ones first, then deciding "which one looks cool" to put in.
Heres a pic of my setup. I went with a Autometer electric boost gauge, (pricey, but very accurate above the non-electric one), and a fuel pressure gauge. Then I went with a digital Zeitronix wideband O2 display that also displays EGT and Lambda on the screen in front of my shifter.
Here's a quick vid of the boost gauge in action
