Default Aftermarket Gauges

Hey guys! I got a gauge question.. I'm building my 1992 full size Chevy into a nasty *** street truck, and frankly the 90mph speedometer isn't gonna do.. I see a lot race cars/trucks with the single piece digital gauge setup that reads out everything, can't think of the name. Would something like that work, or what I have to stick with GM application stuff? I'm not the smartest when it comes to the electrical side of cars. I'll be using a 2001-2003 GM truck computer and harness.

oh wait just read the second half, you'll probably have to find a "universal" type to modify to work in your application.

Dakota Digital makes some nice stuff, haha, my dad uses them for all his old cars, but I wasn't sure how easy it'd be when I would have to mess with another computer and wiring setup.

If you are talking about the Racepak display like this one. Yes, the tech guys at Racepak say you can use it with Gm harness and pcm.

That's the one! I'll go check them out. If stand-alone's weren't so expensive I would be running one.
