Im not looking at any gauges when im going WOT. Just the road in front of me, so thats not an issue.

I like it!! I wonder if there will be anyway to retrofit one of these in our cars..
It doesn't go High Enough

Ha, ha - you're right. 40 may be a little high. Only going to run it up to 33-38 psi.

Cool that those are standard 0 - 5 V. Thought they would have been hooked to the CAN bus that GM is using...

I don't like the placing of it. . . It's going to be a little hard to see what boost pressure you have while driving when it's at that location.

I clicked on your sig after I posted that and realized that you have some CRAZY builds...
The signal does come from the low speed CAN bus, but it's just a 0-5V signal. I'm thinking that the gauges could be fed from a aftermarket sensor module pretty easily.
Who's making your custom gauges?

Why replace a useful 'volt' gauge, instead of maybe replacing the 'trans temp' gauge.....? just askin'......

But then the battery condition can be checked in the display, i guess.....but i'm not sure the trans temp is more useful than a volt gauge.....

my 2 cents and i don't expect any change....

I would retro one into my ss asap if it becomes available.

Are you going to be selling these or are they a one off product? I havee been looking all around for someone to come out with gauges that look OEM! I wont be putting them in the 4 gauge pack, retrofitting them up higher on the dash... dont know exactly where or how yet, bbut I want an OEM look for sure. I will figure out how and when once I see what gauges I can come up with!
