predator......

ok so if I can only afford one guage right now Im assuming I should look at a pyro? or is the boost more important? I have a stock trans temp guage and all I plan on towing is a two place snowmo trailer.......I put it at the 60 hp setting and love it I dont rod on it except whan passing I try to drive it pretty easy to get better mileage...Sorry about the title the first time Kwik I thought it was clean enought...wont happen again....I was overcome with joy from coming over to the dark side(black smoke in the mirror)!

pyro is the MOST important... tranny is next... boost is nice just to look at, but you can also use it when towing to know how far down on the pedal you can go before your tranny will downshift... also... be aware that your egts will climb even if you are only towing a couple of sleds... especially if you are headed for the mountains..! also be aware that the stock tranny gauge is junk... it's basically just an idiot light... by the time it warns you things are getting hot, things are already way too hot... so... don't trust it... moral of the story... get REAL gauges for your mule..!

Pyro is the most important. That way you can know just how much throttle to give it and when to back out.
