I tried messing with the computer settings to use a different sender, but could never get it to work. Maybe you will have better luck.

I'm going to try this when I get back in town. I'll let you know if it works.

Well it's been a while since I updated this. Slow going on this install, just doing a little here and there as time permits. Here's a few pics on the IC install. Got a bit further along than this but I haven't taken pics yet.

Clearancing everything for that cooler was a bit of a chore, but not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Even called Rick to see if I could swap to the smaller 4.5" thick core... But in the end I manned up and put the big one in lol. With everything trimmed, it fits well and nothing rubs. Yeah the garage is a little dirty and cramped, but the ol lady wasn't about to keep her car outside so I could install what I spent vacation money on... LoL. She's still a little mad about that.

Looks good man. I just noticed my comment above on the fuel gauge. I tried to modify my stock tables and didn't get anywhere and then realized I have my fuel sender wired strait to my autometer gauge. So it bypasses the computer altogether So I'm no help there.

There is a thread on HPT that explains how the tables work and how to properly calibrate the gauge.

Hell that's another way I could go I guess, if I can't modify the tables enough to make the cell's sender work with the stock gauge... Could put an aftermarket gauge on the pillar with my fuel and boost pressure gauges.
