i like my glow shifts, the new fuel pressure guage is a brighter green though.. kinda drives me nuts but i deal with it. a sensor died, called them up and with in 3 days i had a new one with no questions asked. awesome customer service

"like" is not something i want to use to describe my gauges if i'm paying +$100 for em! lol and while i can appreciate a good customer service, i would prefer a high enough quality of product to not need it! but i do appreciate your input! thanks man! BTW, how long have you have your gauges/sensors?
thank you for that, i've been wondering what the "limits" should be with EGT's. reps sent!
Thanks for the beans, dood.
Mike, your crooked Trans Temp gauge would drive me nuts!
And when I say 1300°, don't stay there very long. Short bursts are generally okay, but ease up within 10 seconds or so. I play the Feather the Throttle™ game. I back off a bit and give it a bit more based on temp, load, slope, speed, etc. You know the dealio.
I've put 40,000 miles on my truck since I installed my pyro and I haven't seen any scenery but IT since!
Me describing the drive, "Oh, it was 1100° here. A steady 1250° there..." lol

Another vote for Isspro. I've had EV1's in 2 different trucks and they were great, though a bit of a pain to install. I just received my new setup Monday consisting of custom built EV2's with a few options/features not yet available to the public, unless you know who to ask that is
For a manual trans truck I recommend pyro, boost, and fuel pressure. For a stock or stockish truck a 30psi gauge is plenty, 40 would be fine too. I went with a 60 psi gauge because of my future goals for the truck. 1600° is plenty on the pyro, and Isspro offers a slick color coded face (green, yellow, and red "zones" on the temps) if you want. For fuel psi you'll want a 100psi gauge.
Hoping to get mine installed this weekend and I can get some pics up, but they look like every other Isspro EV2 out there basically.
Why bother with the 2000° when 1300° is the tops you'll ever want to run?
I think the pistons melt around 1800° (that's 1500° @ the gauge for manifold mounted sensor). That fits within the 1600° scope. You'll get better granularity with the 1600° gauge anyways.

Mine has been pegged at 1600* and took a couple seconds to come off the peg after I let off the skinny pedal several times... LOL In general, with a manifold mounted gauge, you don't want it at or above 1200* for more than 6-7 seconds. I think mine has been over 1200* for maybe 8 seconds before and it scared me when it took so long to come off the peg.
