Default 1998 questions

Hey,
My first question is how do you mount gauges in the air vents above the radio. What size gauges do you need and what hardware? Also wet nitrous kit or dry nitrous kit for the LS1? I heard that the wet kit is better, but than I heard that there is the possibility that it will get caught in the intake. Any comments?

i was just asking those things myself, and nobody seems to have replied.. so heres what i found
the size you need for the gauge to fit perfectly in the air vents is 2 5/8". as for hardware.. i'd suppose that depends on what type of gauge.

you do need bubble wrap, or a rag, or something of the sort, to block the hole in the air vent, so your gauge doesnt get cold/hot air blown at it

I have a dry kit. A wet kit seems to make better power over the dry but I have a few friends that destroyed there intakes with a wet kit.
