Isspro EV-2 have the new warning light features, fully LED lit and are made right in Portland Oregon.

Michael (Lead design engineer) posts in all these forums regularly, Isspro sponsers many of them and they are out there racing every weekend...

Try and find someone from AutoMeter on a forum offering tech support...LOL

Wouldn't exactly call Autometer poo... just cuz you decided you like ISSPRO. The reason you don't see Autometer guys in forums giving tech support is because you never need tech support for them. Most race car drivers would agree that running with mechanical gauges is far superior to running electric. They give more accurate readings, and have less chance of failing. I wonder if there is a reason that ISSPRO doesn't have the market cornered in NASCAR, NHRA, RallyX, etc. Oh, and BTW Autometer gauges are made in America as well, Sycamore IL...

I know the ISSPRO is electric vs mechanical, and the designer and USA made. But some of us are less gifted in the wallet area

Nonetheless, I love my ISSPRO and when ever I get the change I buy US made.

correct you need to compare autometers full electric led gauge one example is the (gs) series to the isspro. gauge they are similar.

Isspro EV-2 have the new warning light features, fully LED lit and are made right in Portland Oregon.

some autometers have them as well and are also made in the usa i dont have a box here at home but i think since 1947.

i dont need them on a forum the one and only time in 30 years ive needed there help i called my vendor (jegs) they hooked me up direct to them the fixed the prob quick and no cost to me. ive got a set of gauges that have been on 4 or 5 motors and two different trucks! they are still working and are on my 65 f-100 and are 25 years old! i was trying to be non bias before but for me its always been and will always be autometer! they are king at any track! like chris said. how much worse of a test than nascar / nhra / npba / ect...
