Anybody using them? I saw an ad in GMHTP for www.dakotadigital.com and the guages look pretty sweet, but they're not cheap. I was wondering how well they work during spool i.e. how quick they react and are the numbers readable. Any takers?

I've got 3 DD gauges on my dash: EGT - Boost - Fuel Pressure. They are quite accurate, but very difficult to see in broad daylight. I wish they had a brighter display... :stupid:

So what does it look like when boost is coming on? Does it run through the #'s really quick, skip some, respond slow?

I have the Nordskog digtal gauges. I have the 100psi boost gauge Water Temp, Egt and Oil Temp. They are awesome and they all have recall and mine
have dimmer and adjust with the dimmer switch which is cool :rock:

As rapid a reaction time as one would expect. Never any skipping. I guess it could be confusing to some as the numbers change pretty quick. Fuel pressure and EGT move more slowly than boost...

I have the SPA dual boost & EGT with peak recall. I can concentrate on other things - like keeping it between the fence posts instead of worrying about max EGT or boost .. just hit recall after the run.
