So I decided to go with an aftermarket fuel pressure gauge, but I still don't want one of the A pillar gauge pods. Thats a dead giveaway that something is going on. Was searching the web and found somebody that makes gauge pods that go in the dash pocket that pops out. I figured hell, I have CAD and a 3d printer, lets see if I can make one for myself. Here is what I came up with. This is the gauge pod I designed in CAD. And this is what it will replace.
This is made by the same company that makes autocad. Works very similar but has a lot of really cool tools that autocad doesn't until you pay big bucks.
I also had a great conversation today with the guys at true blue motorsports. They will likely be doing my transmission work for this build. 6l90 trans, built for 1000 hp, high stall converter, all the electrical, and a corvette steering wheel to give it paddle shift and hopefully keep all the stereo controls working. We will see, but the gearing in the 6l90 is amazing for this build. With the AWD/4WD setup the and the first gear being 4.03 to 1, it should 60' amazingly, Plus it will have a .67 overdrive for long trips. With 35" tires that puts an 80 mph cruise at 2150 RPM. Only downside is its gonna cost me about 8 grand.
