Spek gauges... The peak recall feature kicks ass. Make a run pull over hit the peak recall button, needle moves to its highest recording.

Autometer Cobalts, I used to go the easier route with something like and Edge Insight but then that tied up the OBD2 and couldn't log with EFI Live.

I have Cobalts in my truck and Mustang. I love the look of them.

The Spek gauges look cool and have cool features but the numbering is weird. Guess I am so used to seeing everything in 5s on gauges is why. Different but not sure if I would like looking at something that is out of sync with the rest of the world on layout.

Spek are the highest quality gauges made. They use electric pressure and temperature sensors. If money is not an issue I would go with them. If you can find a set of old diprocals they are very nice also.

X2 on Speks being really nice gauges. I would have them if they weren't so spendy. I have Autometer Sport Comp II gauges (which really aren't that much cheaper). Those new Isspro factory match gauges are a good gauge if you want to match your factory gauges. I think they match the LTZ/SLT gauges.

My elite series uses electric senders, has a peak recall, datalogger outputs, and a bunch of other stuff I will probably never use lol

Although maybe not as well made as the others mentioned, the Auto Meter Phantom II look sweet and even better at night. I regret not getting them. Here's a shot of what I currently have, Auto Meter Ultra Lite.

you have to be a badass to run these! All digital, I use the top oil pressure guage as a drive pressure. No need to guess where the needle is at with these babies! I dint recall how much I paid but I do remember not liking the price! Autometer cobalt blue digitals

I have twin AeroForce Interceptors in both trucks. I like that the analog inputs can be plugged into EFI and logged when the AeroForce are not plugged into the ODBII port. 2 gauges, 4 lines to see, they read the ECM and also have 2 analog inputs per gauge. You can also read and clear DTC's.

I Put together a day/night shot for you...

I really like my gauges.

- High Quality
- Look very clean
- Not annoyingly bright when turned all the way up at night
- Get complements all the time
- Not a single problem with them for over a year
