I didnt realize till about a two weeks ago that my FP is falling around 8psi on a WOT run. And ive had that gauge since last summer. BUt the wideband holds fine, so that drop has been accounted for in my VE table.
yes i understand that the wideband will reflect my FP...Im really glad i had my wideband when my fuel pump let go...it would really fluctuate, and read really really lean so i got a gauge to test it and sure enough, it was like 42lbs...i just didnt think it would hurt to have another gauge to keep and eye on this...eventually i will have a forage 6.0 in place of the 4.8 and hope to run some big power...

again guys sorry for all the confusion...Ive kinda made up my mind on my pillar and the gauge 'pod' like moregrip made, just wanted to see everyones taking on the steering column pod, and if they like'd it, or would rather do without it...

In my triple pillar, from top to bottom I've got boost/vac, Pyrometer, and Fuel pressure... Ive got my wideband in a column pod, mine actually fit pretty decently. I wanted the wideband in the most obvious place, for obvious reasons LOL I like where my guages are placed, I want to add a scan guage, and oil temp overhead... Ive also got an esky cluster so ive got trans temp in there.

so you liked the column pod? did it obstructed the view of any of your other gauges? i think Im gonna get it anyways, just wanted someone else's opinion...i remember you were telling me that your pyro would get up there under a long acceleration correct...is it worth it you think it get one?

Id get one, you can tell a difference in EGTs with tuning too, just another good tool, and something to keep a definite eye on.

The column pod blocks the gear indicator and the 120mph mark on the speedo, but I go past that pretty quick
