Re: queation about aftermarket gauges

mechanical guages will require you find a way to route a temp probe and an oil line into the dash, not something that's always all that easy or clean. running electrical gauges only require you run some wiring to the engine bay (may even be able to get by with stock senders if the specifications match). the gauges are wired separate from your fuel injection harness, so what fueling system you use will not matter.
