Shut Mouth Electronic Boost Gauges- worth the $$

Maybe I like overpaying for an electrical boost gauges vs mechanical because I think there has to be a larger benefit using them - i.e. more accurate, reliable, less prone to kinks.... but how right or wrong am I? I just got bit by the performance bug for my truck 6 months ago and find it way too easy to spend on perceived benefits due to price.

I have seen this question asked before on this site, but nobody answered it head on??

oh yah - were do i get the BS detector for this sight??

Thanks again for all the other insight(s) people have given

They both have the same accuracy, they are both reliable... Install is easier with the electric because of the air line...

I have had both and prefer the electric over the mechanical...

But I also Prefer the Isspro Performax line over anything else on the market...

17? WOW!

And if you had to give the ISSPRO Performax a rating, how would you rate them? I'm leaning pretty heavily toward them for everything that I'm wanting to keep an eye on. Thanks!

Well I would give them a 9 out of 10... but I am biased. I have been running them for over 3 years now, started out with the second prototype versions and moved on from there. Testing a new update to them now!
