$161 for the AEM Wideband Air Fuel Gauge, $745 for the Speedhut gauges, $50 for the laser cut APS plastic for mounting the gauges. I had the acetone on hand! $956 as described above. In my current setup, the additional LED idiot lights came to $28.50 from eBay with shipping. All in all, less than $1,000. BTW, the driving sync between the wideband A/F gauge and the vacuum gauge is really impressive. Really helps fine tuning the carburetor over all usage ranges from full power to lean cruise. I have also used the these two gauges to optimize ignition timing in lean cruise as well.

you guys may be way past me when it comes to adding gauges but... '95 E35 extended van - i added a bosch tach in the blank space to the left of the steering wheel, i put a three gauge pillar piece on with tranny temp, oil temp, ***** forgot the third, used a superduty F350 single gauge pod on the steering column for voltmeter for #2 200A alternator (separate system just for stereo) and had my gauge guys peel the bezel so i could add low volt warning light inside, and put a dual gauge pod from a mustang (mounts horizontal on a flat surface) on the semi triangular flat piece in the center of the dash. wideband O2 and airbag gauges went there. pitched the airbag so blanking plate there for now. don't need the tranny temp gauge either any more - zf 5 replacing e4od. had i been hip to it i would have done the f 350 cluster swap to get a tach. but the bosch wasn't doing anything anyway. maybe ditch mustang dual, put wideband on column and move voltmeter to pillar.

party on garth!
