ISSPRO vs Autometer
#1
#2
I have both. Isspro EV2 and AutoMeter Z series. During the day I love the Autometer Gauges, Boost and EGT all have 1 lb. increment marks while the Isspro only list every 5lb. The AutoMeters are crisp and clear to see and have a brighter day time face.
Now for night time, I can't see the AutoMeter Faces for crap with green LEDS in them. The Isspro's look like they were installed from the factory they match so good.
My AutoMeter's are about six years old, I just added a Isspro Fuel Presure. My Pyro is acting up and when it goes I'm going to go with the Isspro, but Man do I wish they had the face of the Autometer's with the needle and lighted brightness of the Isspro's. That would make the perfect gauge in my book!

i dont agree ive used autometers for over 30 years in all my cars and trucks as a matter of fact i just installed 20 year old auto meters liquid filled race gauges that i had from an old bronco into my 65 f100 and they still work flawlessly.i have never had one fail! also i installed new autometer gs series in my 99 f350 they are awesome they are very readable buy day white numbers and a red pointer and led green at night they were three times brighter than the factory light so i bought there dimmer turn them down and they match perfect!day or night i also just installed some issopros for a fellow member here and i wasnt very impressed with the connector on the back of the gauge kinda like the old blue squeeze type of connectors like the uhaul people would put on if you bought a hitch from them . and years later they had to be redone.guess its like the ford chevy thing though its what you want . i vote for the autometers!

I like Isspro because:
They are USA made
They have a great reputation
They have great customer service
I just recently installed a set of custom built Isspro EV2's in my 97- color coded pyro, fuel psi and boost. Mine are basically a one of a kind set... for now at least. White face/red pointer/chrome bezel with built in warning lights. Isspro built them and shipped them straight to me, I bought them through the guy everyone loves to hate, good 'ol CSIPSD.

I have ISSPRO EV2 on my truck while my wife's truck has Autometer Phantom gauges. My only complaint on the Phantom gauges is that they are much harder to read then the EV2s, especially at night. The EV2 pyro gauge is really nice because it has the color code bands where the Phantoms do not. This is especially convenient when towing a 16k lb fifth wheel up a 7% grade. During the long uphill pulls, I like to scan my gauges more frequently but I don't like taking my eye off the road for very long so having a gauge that I can read at a quick glance has some extra value to me.

[QUOTE=gchavez;10561683]I have always thought that Autometer sells quality gauges. We used them in our race cars all the time and they seem to hold up well. Never a failure that I can recall.

greg isnt that phantom gauge a incandescent reg style light bulb?

mike, isnt the z series gauges incandescent light bulbs to and i thought you said with the green led in another thread . i thinking you ment the green cover for the bulb.
the only thing i know that my autometer gs series are just as bright or brighter than the ev2s i helped joe put in last month. i am not trying to bash issopro just comparing apples to apples and throwing in my 2 cents.

Personally I don't like the aesthetics of the ISSPROS. Just my .02, not bashing anyone for having them, I just think the Autometers are more pleasing to the eye and I like the way they read out. I don't have any problems seeing my gauges, day or night, only complaint I have is they are a little TOO bright for me at night, going to be installing some resistors or a dimmer on them soon. As far as matching stock, that wasn't really an issue for me, I plan to replace stock gauge face with a white face and will probably change the bulb colors too, maybe to blue
