Ok so with my sc build comming up I need for sure a boost gauge and a wideband (what's the dif between a wide band and a narrow band reg a/f gauge?) I am also down the road either putting the 2.4 cluster in or the ss/sc cluster in.. but I was looking at the auto meter cobalt gauges. Thoes any good? Are there better? Not looking to spend a crazy amount. And honestly that auto meter cobalt one is a little high. What do you all like? And show me some pics thanks chris. Also if I was to go with a 3rd gauge what kind would you suggest?

 

Autometer Pro-Comp Ultra-lite series.

Wideband reads the actual mixture, narrowband reads lean/stoich/rich.

 

Basically what LS1 said but NB is less acurate than WB because it is usually a different style sensor too.

 

Ok thanks I was going to go with a wideband just didn't know the diff, as for types of gauges are the am cobalt ones any good? I want a matching set. Somethin that looks cool. I liked the cobalts cuz there black and blue and everything in my car seams to be that color right now.

 

Anything autometer is great. They make excellent high quality gauges.

 

autometer, aem, defi/prosport, stri, aeroforce

 

see when ever i hear aem i always think honda and ricers idk why.....

should i get a boost gauge that goes to 20 or 30 psi??? or is it just personal pref? whats the stock lsj gauge go to?

 

thats because aem makes intakes for literally everyone out there and they arent all that expensive. its the same with injen. i seen people with aem or injen stickers stuck all over their cars.....honestly their gauges are some of the best out. i run the true boost and the oil pressure gauge along with 3 interceptors. the aeroforces are nice because no other gauges with the exception of a few can do what they do but for the main parameters such as oil temp pressure, fuel pressure, water temp etc i would run a full sweep electronic or mechanical gauge any day.

 

Well I know I'm going with a mech gauge elec seams to be more work then needed. Got enough wires to mess with and worry about with this swap. Jus don't know if I should go with a boost gauge that goes up to 20 or 30 psi

 

Autometer Cobalt Series Wideband. Beautiful gauge and does the job awesomely. Customizable ranges and alerts.

btw, it's called cobalt series for the blue LED display, not our cars lol

 

I knew that.. lol I just like the gauges not cuz of name. Someone lmk what boost gauge to get tho!!!! Lol the 20 or 30 psi one... I was thinkin the 30 but then don't think I will be runnin much more then 12 to 15 psi and don't know if the 30 will look dumb

 

Just get a 20psi gauge. It'll look better if you max out more of the gauge than having a high number you never hit

 

I know off topic, but here is my favorite gauge

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_(person)

 

That's what I was thinkin, but wasn't sure as I thought the factory ss gauge went up to 30 so didn't know if there was a reason or if that's what I should get... that and what r the odds of me goin over 20psi..... like none unless I wanna blow my car up lol

 

LSJ reads up to 20. LNF reads up to 30

 

i am in love with my cobalt automet boost gauge and it even glows my **** eatin grin when i pass d-bags lol

 

I prefer the ultralite series myself... then just get the LED colored bulbs to change the color to whatever you want!

 

the ultralite pro comps are great. definately a proven gauge. i use to run those with the peak warning in the camaro. switched them out for the racepak lol
