Default Need some info or advice, pls.

looking to start a reasonable holiday wish list and was looking for a little help. I know my tranny needs something done, so looks like for the money ill go with the transgo shift kit. I also want to put a couple or few more guages in, def fuel pressure but what else do you guys recommend, and with these recommendations what parts do I need to complete the install. Prob gonna place the guages with the dash mount. So ill add on a shift kit and some guages, what else? Thanks

on the outlook as of now i have, a pre turbo pyro meter/ injector pressure/ boost(which is fooled by the fooler, )/ tranny temp(not sure where it comes from), and the other available are a 2nd pyro meter if installed, speed, rpm, throttle position, coolant temp, hp and torque along with numerous track related options.

where do you have it mounted (pillar?). you could get an SRT pillar gauge mount if it's possible.

I'd look for an intake manifold...

Yeah I have it in the pillar, worked out real well and looks good. Thats why I was thinking to go with the dash mount

I ordered a fuel pressure gauge, boost gauge, cool down timer, and the trans-go shift kit last night. (my birthday was last week so my truck gets presents) We have nearly identical rigs. You can hold out and I'll let you know how it all works out, or you can jump in the same boat and we'll help eachother along the way

Hey Steve, I'm with ya about being partial to ATS. They are in the process of designing and producing a front diffrencial cover. I think that will be my next order from them, the cover and the intake manifold. For now, I have a cool little project in the works, hope to have it going soon.
