Lookin at gauges either AM elite or EV2's

It is time to get some gauges so I can get the power ball rolling. I know ISSPRO is thought of highly around here and that is probably what I will end up going with, but while I was on the RR site looking around those autometer elites caught my eye.
Just wondering what people thought of em compared to the ISSPRO. Might see what Clay can do on a package deal for them if it is worthwhile. It is down to one of those two.
I know some will tell me how good the glow shi_t gauges are, but I do not want them for numerous reasons.

thanks for any and all info.

Get what you want. The Autometer guages are every bit as good as the Isspro and so is their customer support.

I have had Autometer Gage's forever and like there quality and looks. I have quite a few in 4 different vehicles. Autometer is an hour or so away from my house. Never had a problem with any of mine and some are almost 20 years old. I have 3 autometer procomp ultralites in my 00 superduty. I just got a Isspro EV2 fuel pressure in my Superduty.black bezel, black face,red pointer.It matches the Superduty factory Gage's great. At night it is amazing! Makes my Autometers look horrable. You can read the gage perfectly with the blink of an eye at night. When I can afford it I will be replacing my Autometers in my Superduty with the EV2s!

EV-2's offer the warning lights as well. The programing software is available as well to program the warning lights, data rates and other adjustments...

Very slick set up.

Nice to know. I was going to see if the warning lights where up and running yet. That was another feature of the Elites that I liked. Some of the things that the elites mention I dont quite get, but thats on me. I will try and figure out what they are talking about.
Thanks again
to all

Just got my EV2's in...WOW. Only thing Ive noticed is it seems like the boost doesnt register until I get more than 5 psi. It is an electric sensor so I'm thinking it might have something to do with the refresh rate...

Autometer now makes a set of 'Ford Factory Matched' gauges (same face, font, dial, needle, illumination color etc.)

Where is your sensor mounted?

I went with Autometer when I put gauges in originally. I plan to switch to EV2s later this year. Do it right the first time and get the EV2s.

Yeah i seen those. I think Clay has them as well but i liked the Elites better, but EV'2s are sounding like the pick so far.
Thanks again

I almost forgot - the EV2s are crazy easy to install. I know nothing about the Autometers.
