    still no sleep, gotta take a little break for a while so I can refill so-to-speak, and yes, 2 1/16 is 52 mm. that a-pillar setup looks cooler than the setup next to the console. and u may miss the leg room anyways, even though ur skinny. venom makes some gauges, but they're set up different. they're rectangular and use a sideways bar graph to tell u what's happenin w/ all ur stuff.

      If you want to go with some sort of air/fuel gauge, it might be in your best interest to get a true EGT instead. Its been said all too many times that the autometer a/f is just a light show (their other gauges are fine though). An egt will give you a more accurate idea of how lean/rich you are running which will be important (I should know I ran too lean [didnt have the egt installed yet]and blew the head on my turbo dsm). Just an idea.

        well, when u read a EGT gauge, the higher the temp, the leaner ur car is SUPPOSEDLY. higher exhaust gas temps can also be caused by retarding timing, such as in forced insudtion circumstances. u could be running rich, but have retarded timing and still show higher egt's. in my opinion, an air/fuel ratio gauge hooked up to a wideband O2 sensor would be ur best bet for an accurate reading of air/fuel ratios. the stock O2 sensors aren't wide band, but u can get some new bosch wideband O2 sensors from autozone or kragen or pep boys easy enough.
