How hard is it to hook up the boost gauge on an lbz? Has anyone used a banks 6-pack compared to the edge with attitude? I had the edge on my 05 and loved it:ro) ! But it looks like Banks is gonna have theirs out first. Don't want he BD I was told that they don't produce as much power:( . Anyone know of any good deals on gauges?:cool:

the banks and the edge are both good systems. i have went back and forth on which of those 2 sysems to get but if i was you i would wait for both of the new systems to come out and see which one is the right one for you and not just the first one to come out. i like the banks for the fact that you can get a whole system from one place from intercooler to exhaust tip and it will be all banks but on the other hand it is expensive. on the other hand with the edge and banks you are still able to get different parts from different places to make a system that you want in the end it is what ever you want to do just my 2 cents
and it is not hard to hook up a boost gauge you might as well add a egt gauge while you are at it

):h Stock sux :D

How bout exhaust and guages. Having gauges off the bat will let you know what going from stock to modded differences there are. You can tie your EGT into the edge anyway and have it show both and I dont know were the LBZ edge will limit boost at? Depends on how wild your plans are down the road? If they are real wild nows the time to call Mike L. and get some trany goodies your way :D
