The Pods are sold by Stylin, summit and many others.
The gauges you install, really depend on what your plans are. If you just want the gauges for looks then a trans and A/F ratio gauge would be good, if you want them for safty for performance, I'd get a WB a/f, and maybe one of the gauges than can scan PID's or fuel pressure gauge. again it really depends on mods. you can alwas get a cluster with the trans temp.

What are your plans? Any neccessity for gauges, or just looking to add some. I would suggest the interceptor scan gauge regaurdless, it looks great and can show somewhere around 20-25 different readings. You could also look at a fuel pressure gauge, wideband like mentioned above, or a tranny temp gauge if you do not want to swap out your cluster.
I am running Autometer Phantom fuel and boost gauges. Both are full electric gauges and work well.

I got my dual pod from Jegs, cost me at the time $46, know it's up to $56.
As for the gauges go with electric gauges not mechanical, the gauges you are looking at will cost $50-60.
Checkout Autometer's site for more information and part numbers.
Tranny temp sensor installs in the side of the tranny, port already there. The A/F gauges will tap in your O2 sensor but a pigtail will make it a lot easier.

well yesterday I order my pillar pod and i believe that im going with a/f ratio and trans temp. and what is the difference between digital and mechanical is that were its a digital read out. compared to a dial. and what is a decent priced brand for the gauges. Thanks guys

He was saying get electrical guages as apposed to mechanical. Using electrical guages you just run a wire from a sender to the guage, you dont have to fight with capilaries and stuff.
