Default NX's NEW Nittrous Pres. Gauge, lights up at night?


Just wondering does this light up at night?

Have a Vette and was going to put it in the ashtray. My other option is to get an A-Pillar Pod, btu wanted to be more stealth.

If I did get an Dual A-Pillar Pod,,,,What other Gauge would be helpful to compliment the Nitorus? Fuel Presure?

Your best bet is the dynotune Gauge at www.dynotunenitrous.com
as that will fit in the ashtray much better. It can be made without a package as well so you can mount it in any flat surface. Yes the autometer NX guage should light up at night!

Go with the pillar pods... You won't be too stealthy once you burn it up down the track or pop the hood to cool it off. I run a fuel pressure with the nitrous pressure. My other choice would have been an exhaust gas temp.

I personally love the pillar pods for the vette, the fit of the complete pillar almost looks stock!

Another idea is to put your switches in one of the pods, check this out:

These were not available when I did my system or I would have gone this way. This one is from Dynotune above.

Thanks Guys. Wlf, your gauges look cool and I appreciate the picture because I am getting the NX Gauge like you so i am able to see what it looks like with the gauges.

What do you look at teh fuel pressure gauge for? I know it is fuel pressure, but what is the pressure supposed to be at? How does it help you? And is it good to have or more for looks and to fill up the pillar pod

I am starting to think about pillar pod vs. ashtray stealth look.????

I like to see where my FP is, usually 58 at idle and about 52-56 on the juice. Basically want to make sure both needed items, nitrous and fuel, are where I want them to be before a run.
The 4 button gauge would go in the pillar pod. You would have the NX gauge and the switch set.
As I see it now I would rather have an EGT or A/F ratio gauge there instead of the FP, but as I do a run, I NEVER look at anyhting but the track and the shift light. I do not have enough talent to be reading all the gauges, shifting, doing make-up and eating a sandwich like other drivers. Maybe some day...

I can barely press the gas and change my radio stations at the same time

It is going to be boring to rip off a 10.7 at about 130 MPH,,,but someone has to do it
