Your really not going 2 get a "deal" on a KB kit unless you buy it used.. and with things like this new is the way to go. no un answered questions...you being in NYC Mustang Magic would be your best bet. but i'm upstate so I'm going 2 Kennedys out of Buffalo. They've done alot of big # mustangs and i trust bob 100% with my car. I ordered everything right thru them...if u want more info pm me.

wrong, what do you need fuel pressure for?
wide band A/R ratio
oil Pressure
and boost
also not something mandatory but very nice to have in a car is a water temp.

Doing the boost and the wideband a/f ratio...cant decide on the NV(green whiteface)GS(black face with green #'s),C2's(blue whiteface)...think the GS would look the best with my stock cluster considering its black with green but the NV would stand out more @ night..and C2 goes good with my blue car..ha idk...need some opinions?..and i should go mechanical right?

i would do the C2's and put LED's in ur instrument panel so it will glow blue as well. i ordered the bulbs to do that with my panel, after removing it, turns out i got the wrong size, so im sending them back and getting a new set.

autometer widebands SUCK. seen countless of those that have to be sent back again and again and again for re-calibration. the best wideband to get is AEM. the others, stick with autometer.

mechanical vs. electric depends on what you are gauging...sorta speak. im going to be ordering a 2 pod pillar pod myself, with AEM wideband...and i want them to match so im going to order the AEM voltmeter as well.

generally im told that electric is highly preferred...but more difficult to install.

well now i'm back 2 square one....bob from kennedys told me to do a machanical boost/vac. gauge and NOT to use autometer wideband just like Lundis said...he told me to use a innovate motorsports wideband..now idk if i want to do a whiteface with blue(c2) autometer boost gauge and this innavate motorsports wideband which is black background with blue #'s?. so now i'm stuck bc idk if the blues are going 2 match or look good 2gether?...the other ones in the last picture are over $100 more? and i could prob use like a white one but idt i can justify spending that extra money on it...maybe i could do the innvate in blue and a cobalt boost gauge bc they both have black w/ blue? IDK!
