That looks awesome. I never cared for the A pillar gauges because they're played out by the ricer crowd and I'd imagine they'd obstruct my view.
It's about time someone came up with these for the S197. I'd like a set of oil psi, oil temp, and water temp gauges please.

Almost done.
The photo is actually a conceptual depiction to demonstrate my idea to see what people think. I am currently fabricating the triple gauge setup with a raptor light. I am almost done with the gauge pods and will post actual photos soon; I have a few bugs to work out with the mounting method and will post the full write-up as well.

I'd go with the 2 gauge setup and possibly add a Roush vent/pod setup for a third one should there be a need for it.
That center gauge would make your setup look too busy.

Finally done!
Well, I finally got my gauges done. It was a pain but I think that they turned out good. I have a boost/vac, A/F WB, and Fuel Pressure gauges. I am using custom speed hut gauges, a raptor shift light, and innovate motorsports LC-1 controller. I fabricated the gauge pods from aluminum and built wiring harnesses for all of the wiring. I went with the analog gauge for the A/F because I did not like the way the digital gauges have the digital numbers jumping all over the place. My a/f gauge has a warning light that you can set up to indicate an a/f ratio that is too lean or rich at 70% throttle to WOT; this prevents the gauge from giving warnings during normal driving. I can also data log the a/f with the innovate software. I will be adding an analog unit (SSI-4) to data log the vac/boost, fuel pressure, and rpm. Doing this install was more difficult than the supercharger and I am glad to have it done.

those are cool, well worth the work i hope. does it block the drivers view of the tach or the speedo at all?
A little bit but not too much. It blocks the tachometer after 7k and speedometer up to 10MPH. Other than that you have a clear view. The center gauge is blocking the oil pressure gauge and the battery gauge. This was the advantage of going with only the two gauge setup. Not a big deal for me though.

Looks good bynumj! 
Just from the pics it looks pretty professional. Has it helped you keep of where the engine is at for parameters?

Wow - I like the look - I was planning on doing a saleen gauge pod from the parnelli jones addition - but my better 1/2 said it was too obtrusive looking (the large dbl pod on top of the dash) - this rally pack - the (2) two pack look awesome - I really like the speedhut gauges - besides the placement of them on the dash bezel - was it hard to connect them? do they simply snap in?....that write up would be interesting .....post it when done.......
