Guages, Pods, Locations, whats good whats junk?

HobbyStock62 · Jun 1, 2013

So basically I want to get all my supporting mods done before the fun stuff and am wondering what I should get for gauges. I would ideally like to get overhead pod because I feel they would look nicer than the pillar gauges and I dont want to loose the oh **** bar. I have the thing above my mirror that reads temp, mpg, that stuff, I am wondering if the pod would be able to move to the left so it is in between the visor and mirror? Anyone have any experience or know about this pod style...

Also, what should I get for gauges? Really dont want to spend an arm and a leg, want to keep this at around 400 bucks for all. Plan on getting fuel pressure, egt, and oil temp. I have a sct monitor that I would display boost, ect, and trans temp. Anything else that I should get? I have gathered that glowshift kind of sucks, so I am leaning towards auto meter, but would like to heard peoples opinions.
Also, installation. Is there a probe that would come with the egt and oil gauges? would I have to buy seperate? I also have the option to wire 4 things to my sct, anyone done that? I am really not to good when it comes to wires.

I have one of thoughs but, mine is autometer brand. and i love it!! real easy to install. as for gauges, i would go with autometer or isspro since they are tried and true.

Isspro Ev2...

Overhead works fine with the overhead console. My wifes Excursion has it, the only thing you cant see is the top of the 4th gauge, which is her fuel pressure so its not a big deal.

with a Triple I doubt you would have any issues.

There is also the underdash option...

I will second joes on isspro ev2s. Isspro has gained my business and they are local to me!

Another vote for Isspro

Alright, look like isspro it is! Just wish they were a little less expensive.

EV2's are what I use now as well. Three gauge pod on the a-pillar, quad pod above the mirror and just added the gryphon now as well. On a 6.0 I would be wanting to monitor fuel pressure, EOT, and ECT as my primaries, and an EGT gauge if you're tuned.

Gauges are one thing you get what you pay for.

Also, that pod you have linked, I thought they might have been tied to the autometer gauge pods somehow... trying to remember how they were correlated...
