Personally, I like Autometer gauges. I did have a problem with my pyro, but I sent it back, they fixed it up and sent me a new probe for just what it cost to send the gauge to them. As far as glowshift gauges, I haven't really heard a lot about them except that their installation instructions are hard to follow, and not right (saying to tap a vacuum line for a boost gauge). I hear a lot of people running Dipricol gauges, and considered them myself when I was looking for gauge. I'm sure more people will chime in here with some good info.

I am also a big fan of Autometer gauges. I believe they have the largest selection and they are alot easier to install than the Isspro, and Dipricol gauges and they actually come with all the odds and ends that you need. Just my .02 though

I'm also prone to autometers.... Never had a problem with any of them... As far as selection go to their website and under products their has to be at least 20 differenct styles.

I have the Dipricol guages and I like how accurate they are. they seemed straight forward setting up but I read quite a bit about installing them on here
just use the search

Isspro, DiPricol and Autometer are the best guages that Ive seen. Dont waste your money on Glowshifts. Accuracy, reliability and engines arent cheap.

bang for the buck the glowshift gauges are the best. I have auto meter gauges and am happy with them but I know a lot of people ar ehappy with their glowshifts too. you can change the back light color on them too.

I have seen many reports where people arent too happy with the accuracy of Glowshifts.

Heres a tip though - Glowshift sells mounting pod and a pillar covers for cheap. So you can save some money by using their mounting accessories.


If you are looking for most bang for youre buck - Isspro is the way to go. Isspro EV series match the second gen interiors best as well.
