Autometer and Dipricol seem to be the gauges of choice at this time.

Depends on what you are after. I have AutoMeter and prob would never go with them again. I was very displeased with the quality of the guages. For example, the length of the pyro guage probe was far too short to install in the manifold and mount the guage up in the center above the rear-view mirror. However, I do think AutoMeter offers the best looking guages out there.

If function is all you are after, then ATS makes some high quality guages for a fair price. I can't comment on any others because I've never seen them in person, but the SPA digital is pretty sweet looking from Kennedy's website. I would prob get one of those if I was to do it over again.

I got Bully Dog gauges since they looked really close to the factory gauges. I would not recommend them. They have not given me any trouble, but there are better quality gauges out there.

I just installed these gauges and i love them. Just right at night they match good to factory. Even the guy at the shop comemnted at how good they look and how high quality they were.

I'd get those if they had a chrome trim ring. I think I may go with autometer C2. Are the pyro leads really too short for the trippin' mount? Even if you run it through the passenger side firewall like I've seen on here?
