Default Gauges & Piller Pod Options

I am most likely going Saleen or Whipple supercharged and would like to know what gauges to purchase. I want a nice clean look and fit that matches the stock speedometer MyColor display. I saw a video on UTube showing off Autometer's Nexus gauges, and like something along those lines.

What gauges and triple pillar pods would you recommend for a hardtop coupe?

I want the pod to match my light graphite interior.

A/F Ratio? Mechanical Boost/Vacuum? Which should I have?

Anyone know of any good websites selling these products in a package? How much should I expect to pay?

As far as the pillar pods go, try Brenspeed they've got some good deals on pillars.

as for gauges the Aeroforce are good stuff and easy to install and have analog inputs to add a boost/AF reading with sensors

I have the Speed of Sound triple gauge podA-pillar. It's very nice;matches the color and texture of the stock parts perfectly and fits right in no problems. Also, the Aeroforce Interceptor gauge is great, as are pretty much any Auto Meter gauge. I'm using the Cobalt gauges myself, and they're very nice.

AeroForce interceptor gauges. That's all you need to know.

I have two of these and they are very cool. I love how I can monitor everything. I'm not boosted so it may seem weird to some I have them, but I think it's still a good idea so I can try to catch something before it becomes a problem and it's just interesting seeing what the car is doing at different times.

And they were extremely simple to install. Plug up to the OBDII port and that's all. Now of course, if you want them to measure some things like boost, you'll have to use one of the two analog inputs and run those up to the blower. But that should be fairly easy to do.

Oh and you can get it in various colors (the LCD).

I have theSOS dual pod with boost/vac and wideband -air/fuel (pic below). That should be about all you need. SOS also makes a triple pod

It does because it is the OEM Ford pillar! (at least mine is)
