If you want to build a bad *** car start with something other than gauges. Work the suspension , brakes, motor, etc save the show stuff for later. However if you would like some good gauges instead of the idiot lights go with autometer. I like having oil psi, volt meter, and water temp guages in my cars and I would also recommend electronic sending units over the mechanical

Well look at it this way, if you look at all the NHRA, Nascar, (can't remember any more but I'm sure there are others) they all use autometer. I have used autometer for over 6 years w/ out any problems.
