Looking to get gauges

Does anybody use the Quadzilla- Recon for gauges? If so how does it work? What is needed to instl?
I planed on getting regular gauges, but if I could use just on that would be nice.

I have only heard bad things about using the factory measurements to get your readings. That being said, you will always need to drill and tap for EGT's and that is the "most important" followed by trans temp. Your factory trans temp gauge is bad (from what I hear) so I am sure your readings from whatever sending unit is telling this gauge its readings will not be as good as the actual gauge.
My verdict is, if you already own it go for it, but an actual gauge is always going to have more accuracy.

Thanks guys!! I had isspros on my 94 and planned on putting them on my 01. Since it sounds like the digitals aren't reliable I'll go on with my plans.
