Default Gauges?

hey guys, I'm looking for gauges, 2 1/16" so it'll fit in an A-pillar. Where can I find some nice gauges at a good price? I was looking at Autometer and they cost a ton! I was hoping to find some that glow red, so it'll match the factory gauges.

I guess I need a Nitrous pressure....and what else?


I'll be running a NOS wet kit.

yeah! i couldn't believe that one little gauges was $200!!

I've been debating over whether I would need a fuel presure, or A/F ratio...or what ever else there is...

Don't waste your money on an A/F ratio gauge.

Yea, the Autometer gauges are expensive. Check some of the forum sponsers, I know Dyno Tune has a line of n2o/fuel pressure gauges. Check egauges.com also, they have many brands and price ranges. i bought my Cobalts through them, and shipping was free, still expensive though.

I would suggest buying a 2 5/8ths "mechanical" Nitrous Pressure guage from AutoMeter.. They are like $60 bucks and then you can pull out the center vent in your dash and put the guage in there. It fits PERFECTLY and looks killer in my opinion. But, if you do that you will have to buy some nitrous line and run it under the carpet and up thru the console, behind the radio, and then to the guage. They make kits that come with the extra braided line and a few fittings to adapt to the guage. My bottle is mounted right behind the console on the hump so it was a really easy setup for me. If your bottle is mounted in the trunk then it will be a little more expensive cause the line is so much longer. But its still ALOT cheaper than $200 on a 2 1/16 guage and looks better to me.

$445.70 for Autometer cobalt fuel, n2o and pillar. Put it off for long time because of cost, but I like dumping good money on stuff that really has no return, concerning investment.
