I've heard that they're crap.
If you read about the install i just did, the sunpro's aren't any better. makes mounting difficult. I would save up for a good set of autometers if i were going to do it again.

Glow shifts are not very good. You get what you pay for. Some of the autometers are not very good either. They had trouble with the EGT probe matching up to the gage. I use pro-comp series in my racers.

Isspro makes good gages but expensive.

I like my autometer gauges but my egt gauge will move around sometimes for no reason. I still have not found out what is wrong. May just be wireing problems idk.

My guess is with all the fuel you keep throwing at it, it's just flinching. According to Chris, I can't blame it for being scared.

I had that problem with my autometers also. Called autometer and they sent the correct gauge out with no questions. Havn't had a problem since. I like that kind of customer service.
