Gauge Mock-Up, what do you think?
 

Mocking my Gauges, hoping to install this weekend.

Which setup will Look/Function better?

Wideband on top or Fuel Pressure on top? Keep in mind, I also got the SOS Pod with the Raptor claw setup so I will have a shift light there as well.

Wideband on Top:

FP on Top:

I like the way the wideband looks up top. but thats me.

I like on bottom so the changing colors of the wideband won't be so high is your view.

I think it looks better with the AF on top, but the constant change of light is better on the bottom so I'd go with the FP on the top and AF on bottom. Good choice on the pillar pod! I love my SOS pod!!

I did a little work to the extra trim ring that came with my AEM gauge tonight.. Grinded the threads down on the inside and sanded it down to the bare plastic (it was silver) and painted it black with a coat of clear on it to match the other trim ring. Now I can glue/double sided tape the extra trim ring on the Cyberdyne FP gauge and they will both match & look a little more clean & streamlined.. Yeah, a lot of work for something so little, but I think it will pay off in the end.

I'm actually starting to lean more towards the A/F gauge on the bottom, but I'll have to mock it up again with the modified trim ring to get a better idea.

I think the F/P gauge would be more annoying up top since it is digital. Those SOS pods tuck in pretty tight so they are not in your line of site. I would leave the A/F gauge up top. I have mine in the top position.

Well, they're both digital so I think they would both be equally annoying.. LOL

I really don't know I guess I'll just have to start out with them either way and it one annoys me more than the other then I'll have to move them around.

AF is more important....so bump to the top. FP is easier to just glance at when you need it, AF needs to be in view at all time IMHO.

Pillar pods suck. However, since you've got one anyway, AF on bottom.

I didn't use the pillar... went a different way.

Pic is HUGE so link seemed better than embed.

EDIT: That's oil temp and AF by the shifter, trans temp on the column, and in the vents (left to right) boost/vacuum, oil pressure, water temp and hidden in the center console with my pens and cd's is the volts gauge. Nothing above the line of the dash.

I like FP on top. Btw how much did you give for each of the gauges?

Umm.. The AEM UEGO A/F was like $188 from eBay and the Cyberdyne FP was Right at $100 with Shipping from Summit.

Should've just bought two of these and the AF kit. http://www.lethalperformance.com/03-...gauges-p-30022

Can scan through multiple values and each gauge has two spots available for plug-ins (AF, boost, etc.). Those are what I'm leaning towards getting when all is said and done.

Holy hell... $400 for a damn gauge. No thanks!! lol :all:

The UEGO A/F was a great deal and the Cyberdyne came with 1yr. free replacement from Summit and a Limited Lifetime warranty from cyberdyne so I'm perfectly happy with those..

That's for two....lol. But their much better than anything else in reality. Plus then you only have to run two gauges to display four values at a time. Or you can set it to scroll and display up to eight, four on each gauge. I hate cars with lots of gauges, so the less the better. Keeps the rice away.

The aeroforce are badass. You can set the "warning light" for each value thats displayed. So essentially you could have one as a shift light and the other to blink off when FP, OP, or AF goes too high/low.

A/F is more important for what you have in mind. Put it up top.

DITTO !!!

looks good either way to me but I think it looks better with the digital guage on top.... i can't wait to get my s/c so i can get my guages

Well, all I can say is.... Cyberdyne gauges FTMFL!

I'm going to call Summit tomorrow and give them a piece of my mind. This is a gauge that they absolutely should not sell on their site or in their catalog. 1: The gauge (which is supposed to be standard size) is too small for the pod. It was just a very small difference in diameter, so I just kind of let this slide. 2: Their instructions for use/calibration look like they were written by a 2nd grader. 3: The sender unit when paired with the 1/8" female to 1/16" male adapter sticks up so high that my hood couldn't clear it without cutting away at some of the hood insulation. 4: The **** thing DIDN'T WORK!!! :diaf2:

We literally tested every element of the install, everything was installed perfectly, tested and re-tested over and over. Bottom line: This thing is a POS! I would recommend that you NEVER buy anything from this company, and I promise you, if Summit doesn't make it right I will never buy from them again either. :hittingthefan:

Did get the AEM UEGO Wideband installed and it seems to be working like a champ. The installation of that gauge was easy as pie, practically plug-and-play.

I guess I'm going to end up getting another AEM gauge for my Fuel pressure.. If I'm going to have to spend an extra $100 for another gauge, it may as well match my wideband. :kicknuts:

HOVERSTANG MODE!

Never liked cyberdyne.

Sorry to hear about your troubles though.

That's ok that gauge looked like shit anyhow lol.

'Eh, I thought the Gauge itself looked pretty nice honestly.. Especially lit up, it looked really nice.. Just everything else about it that looked/functioned like shit. :mad:

Called Summit and they took care of me without much grief. I intentionally waited until just before 8:00(cst) last night because their call center closes @ 9:00(est) I believe, so the lady was ready to get the F out of there.. lol

They sent me a pre-paid return label and are going to refund my purchase price + the original handling so Summit did a good job.

Good call, Evan. She was probably like "I don't feel like dealing with this fucker, so I'm just gonna give him what he wants", haha!

They are a good company. I have bought many things from them over the years and they always take care of their customers.

Figured since I had to spend the extra cash anyway, I may as well get a gauge to match the wideband.

"hover stang" lol.. noice.

That gauge looks so much better if you ask me.

The matching style gauges will look so much better.

Thanks guys, I think it will definitely look much better. I love the Wideband, it works like a charm and proved to me that the car wasn't running nearly as lean as the Dyno "wideband" showed. It is still running lean, but max @ WOT is about 13.5. Still waiting on Tim to get me an updated tune.. If it takes much longer I'm going to have to take the car somewhere and have it tuned.. :/

Where did you mount the sensor at? Because if you don't let some heat get into the sensor and do some pulls you can get incorrect readings.

Put it about 2-3" from the collector and it is angled at about 1:00-2:00 just as recommended per AEM and pretty much every other reference that I could find.

The dyno operator finally admitted a couple of days ago that his "wideband" readings have been off on a few cars, so I have a feeling that it was just reading incorrectly on the dyno especially considering that the car idles and cruises in a nearly perfect range, but just a tick on the lean side *maybe .1 - .2).

Got the FP gauge in today, it was a bit of a bitch, but works like a charm and looks sweet in the pod. I'll post some pics/vid later.
