BTW, the best place I have found for gauges and pods etc. is egauges online. I did not post a direct link because I don't know if they are a vendor or not and did not want any hack for it but you can google it.

You definitely should keep the wideband A/F gauge... They are pricey, but way more accurate...

I have a mechanical boost guage and its worked perfect the whole time now, I would suggest mechanical as well. However a narrowband a/f guage is about as effective as adding some blinking lights to the dash, if you want to know your afr get a wideband period...

Question

I gaurantee you Dub Sliverado (Site Sponsor ) will have the best deals around.
You guys use this web-site, why not support it and the sponsors here? You guys should call the sponsors here before taking your business elsewhere. IMO
Not knocking on anyone, it's only fair.

triple gauge a-pillar= $58.90
cobalt mechanical boost= $68.19
cobalt elec fuel pressure= $199.89
VHT plastic paint= 7.99
innovate XD16= 241.14

includes shipping= 575.90

add $199 for LC1 wideband (already had).
With the difference in price between elec and mechanical $1000 sounds about right.

It's really hard to drive around w/o staring at the gauges when they are new!

XD16 is all hooked up now so it doesn't read -.-.- anymore

My answer is yes.
Gauges are overpriced like every thing else I buy for my truck.

I have sport comp.... I spent about a grand on gauges. $125 for the socal mount, $57 for the dual pillar, $180 for the boost gauge, $186 for the fuel pressure, $200 for the nitrous, $52 for the air fuel, $40 for the trans temp. Grand total of $840 in 5 gauges and mounts for 4.... for a triple pod is $2.00 more. I got all my gauges off of Summit....
