fltsfshr, please do my car next. Rick, I love yours, but that's some cash. I gotta save for a supercharger.

How much do you want for 20 hours of your time plus the costs of the gauges and parts, which are about half of the total?

The Blitz installation is very nice! How much do the Blitz gauges run?

I also like Rick's solution, but numeric digital gauges can be harder to monitor in a high workload environment like on the track. Do they have adjustable warning indicators or something?

Ouch. Just looked up the price of those Blitz gauges... That combo is about $600 with the "network" card, discounted!

I guess any gauge solution is pricy.

Well, not all.

For example, this AIM motorsports gauge panel with lap timer, RPM, shift lights, speed readout, gear position, and four additional temperature or pressure gauge readings can be had for less than the price of those two Blitz'es and half the price of Rick's custom digital solution. Mounting options might be a little tricky, though.
