They will be more accurate. Part 6159.Dont worry about Jet, he is just jealous as no one likes his K-mart gauges. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autometer cobalt 20 (then a 30) PSI boost gauge matching the dyno run all the way through the rev range in any gear within 0.3 or so PSI (due to margin of visual error on the gauge itself). Pretty accurate if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the price of autometer, they may not be perfect but certainly look good in our cars and work fine when installed properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
