Default Re: Gauges 5 & 6?

i run a water temp guage and a brake pressure gauge in my stocker. the Brake gauge is only for setting the pressure light between rounds. i don't monitor oil temp, i like to keep it hot, am actually contemplating adding diapers to the cars this year for saftey and to keep oil temps hot! I had even removed the tach from the cockpit, but put it back in when the "hired gun" came on board. I don't run an oil pressure gauge because when i blew up the engine a few years back, the oil pressure gauge was still slowly falling after the engine had selfdistructed!!!! if it makes good pressure on the dyno, change the oil often and check the pressure again the following year, on the dyno. If you havn't bought any gauges yet and are thinking of going to electronic gauges, compare the pricing of a race pak or autometer dash with memory. The end price won't be far off if you are going to run 5 or 6 gauges.
