Well gents what do you think? Be honest, couldn't really do it any other way but auto meter gauges. The last time I tried to use autometer I had a bad gauge and it back feed through the ignition box and burnt up a $4000 computer so we went with the racepak iq3 and sportsman logger, which has a built in 2 axis gmeter, drive shaft speed sensor, wheel speed sensor, reports fuel, oil pressure, water temp, boost, voltage, trans temp all to the dash.

The box on the left is my boost controller and bump box for staging the car with full boost.

The car is nearly complete should be running by wednesday.... getting pretty exited.

I think it looks fine and functional.
Not much you could do different with the stock design dash.
Glad to hear about the progress.
Bring it up for the NMRA Norwalk race :)

We were definitely going for functionality this time round. I just couldn't risk burning up another computer. Plus it would take about 8 guages to display what I have in this one. Plus the sportsman logger is awesome it will be an awesome tool for getting this thing down the track.

I love the surging idle. Sometimes I do that manually at stop lights with my gas pedal.
