Jack, <br>
The gauges sure look cool and the ones you mention have to be the choice
for individual gauges. I really like the warning features. A lot simpler
than my method of extra idiot lights beside a standard gauge using
additional switches for temp & press.<br>
Have you ever looked at a Racepac dash? All electronic with all the
warning set points. Seems to me that it works the issue of limited EB
dash space? For the racer the data logger or playback is also attractive.
I got a briefing last time I was in El Cajon from the shop next door that
is installing the Racepac in pre-runners and race trucks. I was
impressed.<br>
I have also been looking at the EIS which many of the home built airplane
guys use. Its got EGT that would go unused for an efi auto engine. Price
is good.<br>
Both the Racepac & EIS are less cost than a full panel of
gauges.<br><br>
For the electronic dash I was considering adding a conventional tach and
speedo to go with the monitor.<br><br>
The goal for the airplane guys is to minimize the amount of things that
the pilot has to monitor. These electronic systems eliminate the gauges
but flash up a display & warning light when a parameter goes out of
range based on the set points chosen. I thought it would be applicable
for a racer. Meaning pay attention to driving not monitoring the
engine/tranny.<br><br>

Hi guys. Just thought I'd let you guys know the man in brown delivered a
box of really cool high tech gauges to me today!!!<br><br>
These gauges are REALLY nice. They have a white face that goes black when
the lights are on. They also have adjustable alarm modes that allow you
to wire in warning lights.<br><br>
If you guys aren't familiar w/ this company, check them out.
