What size and type of gauges are you guys using ? I have a couple of Autometer's picked out, gonna check stock and order on monday. One is liquid filled but I don't know if it's really necessary to have liquid filled. My gauge last year was just a regular Autometer (Phantom I think) the needle didn't seem to jump around very much. I am defiitely going with a bigger gauge this year in a more visible location, those 2-1/8 gauges are tough to watch in the dash, LOL. Anyone use the bigger non liquid filled gauges? and how are they ? :rocks:
 
i have the 2 5/8 liquid filled autometer pro comp realy like it easy to read even when you can hardly hang on its worth the extra in my opinion.

I bought an Autometer 2 5/8 phantom non liquid filled for mine.

Just started the sled tonight for the first time with the turbo. The needle seems stable enough in vacuum, haven't seen the positive side yet though. As long as you are using all four carb s for the source the needle will be steady with the non liquid.

A freind of mine has the gauge pictured above an he is always griping about having to reset the baro reference whenever there is a change in altitude(parking lot to the alpine).

Hopefully the regular gauge will work fine for me under pressure, I should know next week. :Rockon:
