Default gauges

Just picked up/ordered some for my truck.. finally

guess I can find out how turning all these screws and things has effected the motor.

EGT 200-1600
boost 0-60
fuel 0-15

silver face stewart warner.. should match the truck well, just need to convert them from white/red/green to a blue backlight and i'm good.

that is all

i have had mine in for a week and oh ya i understand why everyone tells you to put your gauges in before you mess with the engine upgrades with just the few things i did last year without gauges and now i can see what i have 28 pds of boost and 1500 degrees at wot makes me glad i installed gauges before going any further

I put my gauges in and while the hood was open I could not help myself from turning up some stuff. I went for a ride and mashed the throttle. I saw 1500 degrees and I had a bad pucker attack.

If you find the right guy and the right price the pyro gauge isnt that badly expensive
