I have been running a Wide band, Fuel Pressure and Boost Vac gauge since I put the S/C on. I have also added 2x dual scan Areoforce gauges and a oil pressure gauge. If I were to do it over again I'd probably just go with the 2x Areoforce gauges and add the sensors to get wide band, fuel pressure, oil pressure and boost vac off them.

I'd get them from Saleen or better yet On3 performance as they actually still answer the phone.

Any reason why you're not running gauges? The reason I'm asking is that I don't really like the idea of putting a pillar pod on my car or one of the pods on top of the dash and I'm not sure how the heat and air are affected by the Roush pods. However, I'm worried about not being able to see if I'm running lean or not. I guess with a good tune, it really wouldn't matter, but I certainly don't want to hurt my car.

Autometer Cobalt: digital Wideband A/F, Analog boost/vac also.

Mine have been mounted in Roush Pods for about 2 years now. I love the look, but not sure I would recommend. You lose the air flow control in the pods once you install the gauge. And worse, condensation forms inside the gauge face in certain weather conditions. My digital wideband display is starting to malfunction because of it.

i like how that looks but i had a feeling that would happen with those since the cold air blow right on to them.

SOS triple pod:

Autometer Cobalt Boost Gauge
Aeroforce Interceptor
Innovate LC-1 wideband

Roush AC vent pod:

Autometer Cobalt Nitrous Pressure Gauge

If I had to do this all over again I'd go you dual Aeroforce gauges and get the boost sensor and tie my wideband into one of the analog inputs. On the Mach 1 I have an NGK AFX wideband done this way and really cleans up the dash. The Aeroforce gauges can also be setup to warn at preset levels like too high and A/F or too low a voltage.

The Interceptors are super nice but kind of hard to read in the daytime. I have mine mounted in the SOS pod and it's super pimpin

Air comes around the Roush pod but it is reduced by a good amount and you cant aim it. There was a note that came with my Aeroforce that you can overheat the gauge when using the car heater and blowing through the vent. I have had that setup for a year and never had a problem staying cool in the summer or not using the vents in winter.

If you get the Autometer beveled rings to put behind your gauge(s) you can angle them so you see them better. This has been a huge plus with the Aeroforce in the vent pod.
