If you don't mind it being invisible in the dark, then get an autometer one!
If I can find a backlit gauge that is as good, then you can buy mine off me! :)

lol, mine is lit, it's just a crap design for the autometer gauges!

I bought mine from Apex performance parts. Sorry, can't remember the link.

I've got the Autometer gauges and haven't noticed a problem.

I've got the electric version with full scale. Its expensive but allows you to set a warning level (At which point an warning LED lights up) and has a button to recall the maximum value the gauge has reached.

ive got a auto meter phatom-tis good
the 10psi boost thing - mine sometimes only does 10psi when ragging 2nd, hit 3rd gear and 10psi is all i get - just lift off and slam foot back down and all is fine. ive been told it could be the N75 valve, with its very high spike (h valve) it is causing some sort of "soft" limp mode!?
