yeah, you cant go wrong with autometer. They have guage pilars too if you like the guages in site. http://autometer.com/hp/index.html
Also check these out... http://www.roadraceengineering.com/greddygauges.htm
I know its kinda import and i should be shot for posting them, but they are the coolest IMO. I would have them on my truck but they are pretty expensive.

Oh yeah, I have an Autometer air/fuel gauge - works great! but there is one thing about it- even though it isnt the gauges' fault. The computer reads the O2s so quickly that the L.E.D.s just bounce from lean to rich (back and forth). Unless you can put up with this and think it looks cool, I would suggest hooking that gauge up to a switch so you can turn it off when you aren't needing it. Mine is hooked up to my nitrous switch so it is only on when i hit the nitrous (plus this is the only real time that i am worried about the mixture) Allrighty...just a suggestion bro. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

A buddy of mine also has the Autometer air/fuel guage and it will drive you nuts after a while. With the charger you can get the 2 guage pilar pod and put a boost/vac and fuel pressure guages in it. I am just waiting for Autometer to start making a few more guages in the Cobalt series. They would match my Escalade cluster nicely. (same font on the numbers)

I dont have them... yet but I think they only come in black so you do have to paint to match. I just wish they had the 3-pods out for the new trucks.

They already do: http://autometer.com/hp/index.html
Yeah i like the Cobalt series stuff too.
Yes the pillars do come black they fit nicely, but i wish they would make them wrap completely around the pilar instead of only half way and then leaving you to make tham fit.

I've had these for awhile now and the autogage pod fits nicely.
