Exclamation Need you all's opinion on which gauge cluster

I was almost sold on the SOS (speed of sound gauge cluster)
Attachment 17453

But since my car is the retro shelby 66 and or 67 model, I was looking back at this gauge cluster kind of like the rally pac of old. (BTW I have lost the link to this gauge set up, can anyone provide where to get these?)
Attachment 17452

I can put my oil press and water temp in it.

Or this new design from Moss Mustang/CDC design

Attachment 17466

I am looking by fall to add a Zex wet kit from Bama chips and I may then use the SOS gauge set up for the NO2 press and O2 sensor set up.

So which is it, the SOS or go with the old rally pac design or the 3 gauge classic design concepts.

Please vote

First pics of the speed of sound and I was hooked!






Best looking gauge pods on the market, IMO.

I wish they made them for my Lightning.

Their pics are better than mine.

Personally I like the Speed of Sound gauge pods, they have triple gauge pods avaliable now and I will be using them when the need arises.

I would like the center dash mount if it could be molded in so that it looks more like a factory option....... so I ended up choicing the SOS pod.

I went with the SOS and the raptor light. It looks factory and thats what I was looking for. I like their 2 guage but the 3 looked like too much. They have a nice cupholder for a guage now too. I'll prob end up with that soon too

I like that one, and was surprised by all the shelby stuff soon to come out.

I found some Pro comp gauges that will work and shelby does sell the gauges with the set up, but not sure if I want the carbon fiber look or a fuel press gauge.

I may go with oil press, oil temp and water temp. Not sure where they will get the oil temp reading from?

any one have an idea?

Autometer has another version of the center pod that should be released in a month or two.

Actually, since I have a SOS pod I'll let ya know that there isnt really a good chance of getting any mechanical guages in there. Lines would kink for sure. It would be a B!TCH for sure

Maybe a mechanical boost guage I could see. Running that tubing isnt bad, I couldnt see most others though

Thanks for the info. I ended up ordering a set of electric Autometer Cobalt gauges. I really wanted the Autometer Nexus gauges but I can't see paying $250 per unit for a gauge. I like that it can change colors to match our IUP but the cost is more than I care to spend for color.

This is the cluster I am planning on ordering.... 399.99 for gauges and all. My only question is if Shelby will offer the adaptors and instructions for the install. I know in past, the fuel press gauge taps using the ZEX NOS kit on the fuel rail (will shelby offer that as well with the kit) and how will they tap into the oil temp or will a combined sending unit handle all of that??

Anyone know?
