Angry lt1 gauge

ok this is probably the wrong section, but do they not make a full pillar gauge pod for the lt1 f-bodys? its all 97-02 the only thing ive found for the lt1 is the one that isn't a full pillar...there has got to be a place that makes and or sells the gauge pillars for the lt1 specific f-body.

Its not the same... on the lt1s you hae the little vents... they dont make them for the lt1.. you will have to get a universal. I have one.. it dont look bad.. here is a video where you can see it.

i've already got those!!! i need 3 more gauges BESIDES them.

anyways back on topic, its an m6 and the tranny is being built and i have thought about a temp sensor on it, and a/f ratio maybe? oil pressure? oil temp? or water temp? an autometer D-PIC? those are the ones ive thought about.
