Questions about supercharger gauges...

Do I really need them at first? (most important question)

And do you think I should do pillar guages and show my stuff or go "sleeper" with them in the lower utility tray?

I may have a hard time resisting showing them off but I get challenged daily on my commute.

I didn't feel safe without the fuel pressure gauge. I also wanted a boost gauge to make sure that all was working well. Do you really need them....probably not. Are they a good thing to have....yes (IMO).

Good luck on the KB. It will be like you are driving a brand new car.

Boost gauge*, fuel pressure*, oil pressure, oil temp, air/fuel (wideband)*, and water temp are all very good gauges to have with a blower.

*most important

The gauges are somewhat important so, you can keep tabs on
your engine and your Kennebell SC.Personaly I would go with the
pillar gauges I think they look awesome!
I would at least get the dual pillar pods and boost and fuel pressure
gauges because they are very important.The Air/fuel gauges can always
come later. I would look at the Autometer gauges they look cool!

I prefer the cd delete area for placing 3 guages. They sell the panel on 5.0 resto. Therefore noone can see them unless they are in the car. I've never been a fan of the A-pillar look, it scrreams "look at me", I have guages".

I have all autometer cobalt c2 gauges in my car.

On my triple A pillar I have boost on top then electronic fuel pressure then Air Fuel gauge with dyno tunes LC 1 wideband setup.

I have the dual pod that deletes the clock with water temp and oil pressure. I am hopefully starting to put my Vortech on as soon as I get my Xcal 2 from MPH.

I like to show the gauges on the a pillar they dont say I have gauges they say I am makin boost.

Id rather be safe and be able to monitor all my engine components because you never know.

If you want a sleeper look, checkout autometers Gaugeworks peice for the bezel cluster -

^^That's my setup, I like it! Later I'm going to add a D-PIC gauge for "tuning" and fuel pressure gauge, at that point I'll be puting those in a Speed of Sound gauge pod on the A-pillar or on the dash all the way to the left by the vent.
