Well I ordered the coupler I need yesterday so it should get that late next week or week after. So probably send it in 2 weeks.

yes I know but I like to see it all the time, I don't like to cycle through the menu. plus the way its set up I can very easily tell if my thermostate takes a dump.

im gonna look into making my vent closest to the driver on the right side into a gauge pod. I never use it and it seems easy enough to make something to epoxy in there that will look nice.

So just roll the temp gauge all the time. Not like you need to monitor the outside temp and odo all the time for reference lol. Your thermostat is just as likely to quit as your oil pump. Could happen, but not likely. If that was the case I'd have like 10 gauges lol.

My buddies ZZP stage 2 gets the jump but I pull on him at the top of third. I need a tune so bad. Do LSJ's have longer gears?

NateSS' car lost to the ZZP stage 2 by about a car. His has a 2.9 pulley while my friend has 3.

He seemed to stay in second longer.

But that instant boost is crazy. First couple runs he shut it down right as I started pulling. Finally got one well into fourth and I started to pull ahead quickly. All three cars were pretty close.

I'm sure Nate's car just needs some maintenance things done and he'd be quicker.

The only other idea if you aren't going to change is add more gauges.... Tri pod cluster set up is your only option. Pointless but it's your ride.

It's going to be. The gray car is fun and I like to drive it a lot, good on fuel and I can still go out and race a lot of the cars around when the weather is in its "in between" stage. The truck will be nice so I can buy a trailer and pull my car if it breaks or if I take it somewhere, and can haul my bike around to riding spots. Maybe I'll buy the truck and keep the grayline for a while through next year, who knows haha.

Here is what I did with mine. And no I don't have that much oil pressure at idle lol I have it plugged into my FPR to read fuel pressure during my testing!

I'm pulling my EGT gauge out for my fail safe gauge. But i'll still leave it all hooked up so I can run my EGT gauge during logging. 4 is enough. Don't want a fighter pilot cockpit lol. Interested to see what ya do.

Two things I have seen done a) replacing one or bothe of the center vents with guage pods.
B) mounting a guage pod just over the center vents aimed slightly towards the driver

Ok here is what I have in mind. this is a mock up of a single pod, id make that and a 3 gauge pod. the holes where the vent controls go would be filled with plastic tab for when u mount the pod. it would slide in the back and be held in place by the vent backing that screws to the back of the vents. the vent tunnel is removable so it would be closed off completely or in the case of single pod it would only be closed on one side. that's my idea anyway.
