With swapping to a 2.76 pulley I want to be able to monitor what's going on with the engine more. I was thinking about a 3 gauge pillar with a wideband but am not sure on the other 2. I figure ill do the boost overlay for the boost gauge so I don't take up a spot for that. What do you guys recommend?
Thoughts on gauges

I have my boost controller and wideband in my glovebox. Not a big fan of cluttered cockpits and gauge pillars.
I find myself focused on where I am going under full throttle, not what my gauges are reading. If your focus is knowing what's going on in great detail, do some data-logging. It is very simple and much more accurate.
Like Rotor, I don't like the look of added gauges, especially pillars.

fuel pressure, oil pressure and a wideband would be my choice. I currently have the Shelby center gauge pod and it has the boost, oil and fuel pressure and the next gauge I would add is the wideband for air fuel and other.
I have the aeroforce gauges and I was excited about them at first but, now I'm not so sure. They read everything via the OBDII. I'm not sure I've fully figured them out which may be part of my problem. I'll keep them in for now but, I may pull them and just go with regular gauges. I agree with Mark's suggestions for gauges if you want to put some in the car.
I'd like to do some datalogging, as Ben suggest, once I swap my blower. I've never done it so, I'll have to get some assistance with it but, it's a good idea. Then just have the gauges to keep an eye on things.

Just keep one eye on the road!
Thanks for the input guys. The gauges would be for monitoring in real time not to stare at while going balls to the walls.
Don't be this guy.... :nonono:
where did you get my picture from!? :cuss:
I was told it was one of a kind.... :bash:
Wow no I will not be that guy lol
I'll be THIS guy soon. I got the double pod bezel, painted black to match my console, and two gauges (as seen - custom SVT) to go with it. (disregard steering column pod)

I put my gauge in a vent pod to try and hide them from Ricers.
That's why I like the glovebox... There when I need it, out of sight when I don't. That, and the NGK wideband is a box and not a pod... Not much else of a place to put it.
I put my wideband box under the drivers side kick plate.
All I have is a innovate mtxl wide band. I like it but they want u to re calibrate the sensor every week if it's a daily driver. And it's a pain to do with a lowered car.
On unleaded fuel you're OK to go a while without recalibrating. What sensor do you have?
Don't be mad because you can't afford them, Tony. I only keep extra ammo in my glove box.
