Default What gauges are you guys using or recommend?

I'm looking at gauges, and damn... I'm not spending $200 for one gauge. I recall spending around $300 for all three of my gauges back in in 2005 when I built my last car.

I want an AFR, Fuel Pressure, and Nitrous pressure gauge for my 03' Z06.

What gauges are you using or recommend? I'd love to see pics of your setups too.

Thanks for the help.

Removed factory cluster and replaced with full Autometer and 2x AEM UEGO. Haven't hooked up the nitrous yet so can't say anything about that one.

AFR is the most expensive and it should be. Innovative has the widest range of AFR gauges depending on what extra features you want. They have a dual sensor gauge to read both banks on one gauge. Had luck with AEM so that's what I use in all of my cars.

I use Marshall gauges in my car. Paid $360 for Speedo, Tach, Volts, Oil pressure, water temp, fuel gauge. All electric, no mechanical.

I'm running glowshift and have been happy with them. The sending units are less expensive than autometer and they are just as accurate. The evidence is that my Marshall mechanical fuel pressure gauge on the rail reads the same PSI as my electrical glowshift gauge.

I'm running:

Glowshift Fuel pressure
Glowshift Trans temp
Glowshift Vac
Innovate LC-2 Wideband
Mechanical 1-3/4 N2O gauge (Nitrous Outlet)
Mechanical 1-3/4 Fuel press gauge on rail (Marshall)
Custom made switch panel from 2BAD2U
Custom switch panel from emblempros.com
Glowshift 3 pillar 2/16 gauge pod

I ran the glow shift nitrous pressure and wideband back in the day. Now I have the Innovate dual wideband since my exhaust is bullets dumped off the header. I never had an issue with the glowshift accuracy wise. They look good but feel cheap. If you dont mind that id recommend them.
