You might top the 30 boost at times with a hot chip... But for the most part you will be fine! Isspro makes a 40 that will work great up to about stage 3 injectors.

what the hell do you monitor w/ 16 guages???

Holy Crap. I guess i never really read your signature. 12 Gauges and soon to be 16. Can we get a list of the gauges you are running. That does look pretty cool. If you get beyond 16 you might need to get a heads up display cause you are gonna run outta room for gauges.

boost, letf bank egt, right bank egt, trans temp, water temp, intake temp, front diff, rear diff, oil pressure, voltage, pre intercooler air temp, nitrous, propane, thats 13 that I can think of. My friend races grand nat's and has an egt probe for each cylinder so he can moniter the temps on each with his data logger after his runs to see how well each cylinder is doing.

On the A pillar, top to bottom... Manifold pressure, boost pressure, left pyro, right pyro...

Over head pod, drivers to pass... Fuel pressure, HPO pressure, water temp, oil temp...

Dash pod... tranny temp, drive oil pressure, volts, and fuel level for the big 110g tank in the bed...

Under dash pod will be Oil pressure, intake air temp, and post IC temp.

Going to add a little something special to the steering column pod for 16, and might add a water pressure for the water injection...

wow...that is alot to look at. so how much diff do you see between right and left pyro? I suppose if you are pulling or racing then that makes perfect sense to have alot of gauges. I would be busy looking at them all though and not paying attention to where I was going. Looks good though. I like it.

About 100 degree's between the drivers and passangers side... weird that the pass side it hotter too? But that could be just probe placement. one might be closer to the back piston and reading a bit higher...

Most just get a glance to see if the needle is in the normal area... Pyro boost and manifold pressures are the only ones I really look at all the time...

I also have LED's in the A pillar to tell me when the water injection is armed and when its spraying...

that is as cool as a fan. I would have never guessed that the temps would differ that much. interesting.

WOW, do you have a wife and family? I could only afford that if I still lived at home with my parents!
