Default Gauges

I'm going to be running an N/A car. So if you were running an N/A car, are aftermarket gauges worth investing in? Or are the OEM gauges good enough?

I was looking at the Speedlogix pod that replaces the sunglasses holder and it intrigued my interest.

Keep in mind. This is a daily driven street car. Not a race car. And If I go to the track. It will be less than half a dozen times a year. If that...

Gas I think might be a good one too. Don't want to starve this 440. Still wondering if a single 255LPH pump is sufficent??? Or should I go to a 340 LPH pump. Saw one for sale at HHP. But how about exhaust temp gauge??? There was an old trick with a few guys that I used to hang with. They knew that when the exhaust reached a certain tempertaure. The car would have it's window of opportunity to scream down the track.

Egt in my opinion is only needed for boosted cars your egts will drop in a matter of sec from wide open to cruz speed, I can show you in my diesel, an egt reading is only so u don't melt something. What I think you might be refuring to is heat soak, but there is no way to take the block temp. The probe for the egt is to far from the block

The EGT was usually located on the header. But good info to know. Seems more suited for a strip car. Not a daily driver.
