Just gives me an excuse to drop in a built 6.0
But really, I'm not too worried about it. The tranny will go before the motor. I'm ordering a Stage III trans in a couple weeks.
once you pulley down you'll wish you opted for an flt level 5...unless you're doing a 4L80 swap

The boost portion won't read with out any added pressure. The vacuum portion will read due to the way a n/a enigine works; the pistons draw in outside air creating vacuum.
The gauge uses a 194 style bulb that I replaced with a LED.

Haven't decided yet. Any suggestions?

The Level III I'm ordering is good to 650hp. I thought about a 4l80, but I didn't want the higher first gear.once you pulley down you'll wish you opted for an flt level 5...unless you're doing a 4L80 swap

Good call on the 60e. There is no need to go for an 80 if you have a good built 60 or 65.
For wideband, I am real happy with my PLX SM-AFR.

damn ya'll with the email... how is anyone supposed to learn without asking questions that make us sound completely stupid!!!
Anyways, VERY nice JK... what is in that location in the 01 models? thats where my tranny dummy light is and i think some other dummy light as well... should the day come when i get a bit of boost into the motor, i think i may just end up using a gauge bar on the A pillar...

is the 80 just fine for this, or would the stock 80 still need to be built? The only reason i ask is because i may have access to an 80 for super cheap, maybe even free

Some folks are not always happy with the suggestions given, so I resort to email when giving opinions
You can email me too if you like
EDIT: I have my gauges on the A-pillar as they are right in my field of view while driving. I have the 2 pod and Justin has the 3.
As for the tranny, really, you are better off beefing up a 60 or a 65 than going with a stock 80. You need the upgraded hardened parts for the higher HP.

That's ******* awesome. I love it.
What other gauge are you going to be installing? If none, why a boost gauge instead of something more "oh shit that needle shouldn't be at that point" type gauge? I mean yeah you can see the PSI, but at the same time... your butt will tell you when your in boost.

I'm going to be installing a a/f gauge also. I got the boost gauge so that I can get an accurate pressure reading when swapping pulleys. Plus it looks cool
