I got a good deal on a new A/R ratio guage. My first guage for the car. Where should I mount it? If I go with a pod, shouldn't I just get a 2 guage pod... but what to put in the other one?

Oh the questions in life....

The A/F gauges are not accurate unless you get a wide band. If you still want to mount it get a 2 pod then put in a FP gauge or an oil pressure.

Not accurate as in not even freakin' close???? Let me guess, WideBand = Big $$$

BTW - my friend has one in his Fox and it seems handy when spraying and tuning....

They are just a light show and not even close.

yeah for the most part he is right....but they do look cool...but anyways...id get a fuel pressure, especially if you have an adjustable regulator....but you will need to get the electrical gauge not the mechanical if you want it inside the cabin....and they are $$$

That or a water temp guage could be a good idea as well

Interesting... my friends helped a lot when we were tuning in his wet nitrous kit. When you have a loud motor and are running at high speed detonation is sometimes hard to hear. Having the guage there helped confirm what we "thought" we were hearing...

I would love to have a fuel pressure guage in the car.... but as mentioned they are pricey little suckers. If I put a nitrous guage in the car would it have to have a line running to AND from the guage to make it inline? Or will a T in the line be accurate? LOL I'm guage dumb as you can tell.

i have a feeling it didnt help out as much as you think it did...truly a wideband OT sensor is the ONLY way to read A/F mixture accurately....

...i think the Nitrous pressure line is the same deal as a fuel pressure line, your gonna need to run a line to it to get it up on the dash....you can stick a gauge back by the bottle fairly easily but running that line up through the cockpit is iffy....im almost positive thats how its gotta be done...
