Planters Nut Poppers is the official snack food of the U.S.A. Clean and Jerk Weightlifting Competition Team.


EDIT: replaced the word 'candy' with 'snack food'. Man, I can't even say the name of the product without busting up.

I wouldnt have clear corners if it wasnt for some random rock destroying one of my stockers Cost me about half as much to get those as it would for a stock one at the time.

Plus the amber side markers keeps the cops away

I am running on my a-pillar a GReddy boost, EGT and Air/Fuel meter.

I will be going with some secondary gauges here soon prolly mounted with a dash pod. Will prolly put water temp, oil temp and pressure.

to me, the A-pillar gauges are most important, anything other then that is secondary and just used for peace of mind.

So Scott, for you as a driver why would you need to see the A/F? Just wondering...I know the A/F is the ratio between air and fuel but don't you just need that for tuning???

I like the idea of at least being able to keep an eye on it even when I am running around town. Unless you are using a wideband o2 sensor (and even if you did, it would burn it out) you are not going to get an exact A/F reading. Even in the GReddy instructions for my gauge, it states that the gauge is used for information only and should not be used for tuning as it is not as precise as a wideband o2 sensor.

I figure with the EGT and A/F gauge, I can keep an eye on how the motor is running and alert me to something goes horribly wrong


also, just for the record, IMO the gauges should go in order of most important to least- Boost, EGT, A/F, Oil Pressure, Oil Temp, Water Temp

Don't forget fuel pressure - pretty critical for a forced induction engine.

Usualy I would have the fuel pressure under the hood comming off of the adjustable FPR. If you drop fuel pressure, the EGT will spike or if you are at a low RPM, your A/F will peg at 16:1

EDIT : OH SHI... 6000 !!!.. BOW DOWN *****ES
