I've honestly never heard of the manufacturer, but you can get an autometer 5" for $99 here:http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-...ewItemQQcategoryZ33679QQitemZ8006937393QQrdZ1

Paul my man remember why your putting the gauges in there..the REAL reason. All that money on that fine motor, you need to know what's really going on. I would get nothing but autometer IMO..tach if you choose, but without a doubt you need water and oil in place before you fire her up for the first time. My tach is not for show (honestly it's a little too much for my taste) but my stocker is litterally a thousand RPM off after 4000. When my stocker reads 6000 I'm actaully only coming up on 5000!!!

DMAN you are right, i feel the same way, i just like how the tach looks lol i always thought that any aftermarket gauge would beat the stock in accuracy!

stick with autometer or VDO man. I have had good luck with both of those.

dunno what size you want, but i use this one

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Sunp...33679QQitemZ8007916411QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

built in LED shift lit, and it small. they do come in black, just have to look for em. sunpro has been around just as long as autometer, if not longer.
