Since Im going to change the pulley, Im going to need a new boost gauge, so I was browsing and found this Autometer Lunar , and I like the steering wheel pod...I also like the Autometer Phantom II thats White durning the day and black at night with white numbers, and I am also considering the FRPP Boost gauge also...
What do y'all think? (You can view the illumination at the top of the page)
Lunar (Matches the Gauges in the Cobra at night)

why do you need a new boost gauge?
Shannon

Because it will go over the stock 10 PSI suposedly...I am suposed to get up to 14 PSI with this pulley, and the stock gauge goes to 10

In order to increase the amount of boost the stock boost gauge will show, the needle must be carefully removed and the small tab on it must be filed down or cut off.

Thanks to BBriBro for the link.
In addition, Ray Hilton has developed a gauge overlay for the stock boost gauge that shows increments past 10 lbs. of boost. You can find more info about the overlay here: http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32223&highlight=boost+overlay

You can always just take off the needle and it will go past 10. But there wont be any numbers unless you get the boost-overlay.
My bro just took off his needle.

some people would just rather keep the stock look and not have any aftermarket gauges or pods in their cars. Like mine, I wish I didnt come with all the gauges..

I like how it matches our gauges...

I dunno, I like stock looks, I think it'd look goofy to have 2 boost gauges

ya stock is a good look, i wouldnt mind having the dual guage pod, but no more than that, it isnt a LeMans car

if i was getting additional gauges (ie: an accurate coolant temp gauge or an A/F ratio gauge) i'd get the one where it's the cluster bezel thing with the spots for the gauges, so they're not on my steering column or my A-pillar

They both look good to me. I love the way my triple a pillar looks. All of my friends liked it so much now three of them have the same thing. As long as no one puts a big ass tach on their dash, I like aftermrket gauges.
Shannon

Yea Im not much for those big ass tachs on the dash, just not my kinda thing

i like the steering column pods mainly cuz it keeps people from looking over and seeing that ya have the boost gauge there... personally if i was going to get another guage id go with the phantom II.. ive always hated the back illuminated green look personally... i miss the old days of when numbers were white, ya had pretty blue lines going around everything. and bright red/orange needles... prior to that they were just illuminated by bulbs shining down the front of the gauges.. thats mainly why i changed my day and night look to what it is now..

I like the phantoms also, but the lunars go well with the cobra gauges...
