I can visit with My guys about thoughts on a cluster that would mount right over speedo. I have one like Jonahs but, alterted it a little. It suited My needs very well. Has boost on left LCD, A/F lights in the middle with a switch between the 2 a/F lights one for each bank of cylinders to turn them off and a LCD fuel pressure gauge on the right. On the far left and far right are the switches that turn off roof lights front and rear. I cannot use over the top of speedo because that is where the HUD is going We think. We got Our last parts in off backorder so BLOWNZ06 will have a report soon and in My hands to install on My ride. My guys work in carbon fiber as in molding sheets not premade and bondo that looks unreal and many other types of materials and glass. We make Our own sub boxes out of carbon or glass and paint glass and use fiber material just lot's of option's. I would need to know what gauge you want to use by brand, size, and function to begin to look at making something that will integrate into the dash and look like it belongs there.
My forced induction guy said give Him a boost gauge and fuel pressure gauge with decent wideband tuning software and He can do his best work. We are using a Keene Bell Boost a Pump so that We can actually lean or richen the fuel by the fuel pressure gauge as We drive. Just a little fine tuning nothing major. You have to be careful as You can lean it out real easy and quicker than You will notice and be in trouble. Same can happen with richness but, You will wash the cyclinder walls and gauld the walls. So if You do any of this stuff be sure You have an expert help You set it up and fix safety limits in the setup so you do not make a BoBo.

That is really neat. I have wanted gauges on the A pillar for awhile, and wanted to graft them onto the factory pillar, but never really had the time to experiment. You guys are probably much better at this stuff than me. I've never really done much before, I just bought a package of fibreglass sheets and the goop and everything. Where I work, we do a lot of fibreglass work, but I've never hit them up for some help. A subwoofer box would be a nice thing to work on too. I am taking measurements this weekend to make something similar to the JL Stealthbox, for a 15" Soundstream Tarantula subwoofer I have sitting around from my last vehicle. I was thinking of mirroring it for the passenger side too, for my Soundstream Davinci amplifier. Unfortunately, the only thing I can work with is MDF board. I might be able to bring it to work after, get them to gel coat it, then spray fibreglass over it and pop it apart after. I'm not sure.

Anyway, just my two cents - thanks for the information. I really like the setup you two are using; the smoked plexiglass on Jonah's looks pretty sharp.
