I went with Autometer GS series Wideband A/F and Electronic Boost. The GS line matches really well with the Ford Green Interior Dash Lights.

In my '05 I run NEXUS Boost, Fuel Pressure, and Wideband gauges. Love them! I think these are the best on the market.

On the 5.0 I run a dual Aeroforce Interceptor setup. Best bang for your buck. $400 to monitor everything! For the 5.0, you can read A/F from both banks through the ODB II port!!

Of course no gauge setup is complete without an SOS Pillar!!!

At least one Aeroforce and then get yourself a Boost, and Wide band.

Charlie Sheen, where did you tap into for the trans temp??? water temp??? Still like them? Trying to decide between the Glowshift blue digitals and the Autometer Cobalt Digital series (blue). With the Glowshifts I can also afford to get an AFR from Innovate, either the LC-1 or MTX-L.

Sensor in the trans pan, sensor in the crossover. Not liking them too much these days, LEDs are failing in the boost/vac gauge and the F/P gauge is way off. Going back to the AeroForce gauges...

I had AutoMeters prior but two of them failed.

I also had a bad experience with them. The first oil pressure sensor failed right out of the box. I was told they are now made in Asia (Taiwan or China) and the quality is not what it used to be. The second oil pressure sensor failed a couple months later. I'm on the 3rd one now, but it has at least lasted over a year.

Seen some mention Defi gauges, by far the best gauges I have ever dealt with. Running them along side of a Stand Alone and datalogging the number's were spot on.. a little on the expensive side but well worth it. Though the Nexan's are more or less the same thing...
Also, best thing imo about both of those is the wiring.. not indivual wiring per gauge, just run the sensor and then plug into a universal unit for all the gauges.

Autometer makes good gauges, but the lighting in them sucks unless you have "through the dial lighting." DO NOT buy any gauges from them that require you to put a bulb or LED into a slot in the back of the gauge.
