I plan on doing a triple gauge pillar and need to know if there are any certain gauges are a must with a s/c. im gettin the escalade cluster, so i wont need a tranny temp gauge. im pretty sure i will get the boost gauge, air/fuel gauge and what else? maybe fuel pressure?
also, for the boost gauge, do i need one with the vacuum side? or just like a 0-20psi sweep?
and one more thing, what is the difference is mechanical and electrical gauges?
thanks,
chris

 

No much more needed other than a Boost gauge IMO. I would try to find one with a 0-15 psi sweep, Magnacharger has a nice one if you are interested.

 

IAT gauge would be nice to have, then you could see what effect temp. has on your performance.

 

I have a triple gauge pod and a caddy cluster for sale ,pm me and I can make you a sweet package deal.

 

I say a boost gauge and a fuel PSI gauge and your pic on the other one. I have a water temp gauge for the intercooler in my third cup.

I like the AutoMeter gauges, the 30" of vacuum up to 20psi of boost. Shows both sides of the story. The fuel pressure is just smart I think since you're adding a lot more stress on the fuel system. It can also be a troubleshooting tool as well.
