Default Monitoring your modifications

So I see alot of post about what all modifications owners have done but what about monitoring those mods with guages? such as fuel/air ratios, boost gages, intake temp. etc etc and how do you mount your guages? Lets get some interior pics up!! Im looking for some good ideas of what others have done!

All autometer Cobalt series. Only change is the digital voltmeter is no longer installed. I use a full sweep voltmeter now. I am fond of my setup. I get a lot of truck drivers on the CB radiotelling me it looks like a cockpit when I go by.....lol.

I monitor boost, EGTs, tranny temp, and obviously voltage.



Good luck with your ride.

I use to also use Perfect Powers SMT6 and my laptop as wellfor tuning/monitoring but now have the FAST stand alone engine management to install. You can see the serial cord for hooking in my laptop hanging outofglovebox inpic above.
Heresa screen shot of what the SMT6looked like(software), could only monitor/tune/data logwith it. My fast has diagnotics as well.

All I know is that when I mash the pedal, most people are in for a surprize. Yesterday, I had about 500lbs of scrap metal in the back of my truck and someone was trying to pin me in the right lane. My truck easily walked in front of him and I moved over.
