Any aftermarket gauges that work with LS1 sending unit??

Hey all. I'm putting an LS1 F-body tank and pump in my car and I am not using my factory gauges. Instead I'm retro fitting Autometer gauges into my dashboard, and I am just curious if autometer makes a gauge that has the compatible Ohms for the LS1 sending unit? I know stock is 0-90 and I believe the LS1 set up is something like 30-240??

Has anybody used an autometer or similiar gauge with the LS1 sending unit and had it work fine? If so, what should I look for?

Wow that was a quick response! And thats great, thanks for the link. Do you speak from experience or just from the Ohm rating listed on summit for this particular gauge? I just want to make sure that once the pump and tank go onto the car, they DON'T come back off!

Not speaking from experience. I looked into doing a 4th gen tank swap but i ended up staying with my stock tank. You may want to look around on ls1tech to see what aftermarket gauges are being used on 98-02's. Here's a link to the 4th gen fuel system wiring that may help out.
