The second one could be dangerous. Every now and then the gauge on the left side of my steering wheel will reflect in the window and freak me out. I couldn't imagine having a pod with 4 gauges reflecting back at me. Only problem is, I am out of room for gauges, and if I want to add more, it will have to be in a pillar or over the mirror, and that is holding me back.
Which guages are you running? I've never seen any refection with the ISSPRO guages on the A-Pillar. But damn! Now your gonna make me look.......

I have not noticed any reflection with mine either. They do block some of the view but not so bad I can't see around them.

Are gauges really needed?

Hello fellas. I searched and searched these threads looking for an answer to this question. I will try to be as detailed as possible with my question so i can get accurate answers from you guys. I am 40 years old and own a 2002 F250 Crew 4x4 with the 7.3. I don't want to take it to the pulls or to the track but would like a little extra punch when I kick it in the ***. I ordered the 6637 air filter and it is sitting on my work bench. I also picked up the Diablo Predator (yes, i know I need the DP, but i don't have the $600 I would need for the 6 settings) and my 4" turbo back straight exhaust is on the way. I plan to run my tune in the 60 HP setting.

With this said, do I need gauges to help prevent tearing something up?

Absolutly, at least boost and pyro, and if you like your tranny then a trans temp gauge. If you want a new trans and need an excuse then wait for it to cook and get a gauge with the new tranny...JK. It's nice to moniter the vitals though.
