How are the Pricol Optix gauge users liking them?

I've heard these look closest to factory. I'm going to mount them overhead.

EGT, boost, and trans temp.

Looks like with the install kit, pod, and gauges it should be around 425 ouchers. What am I looking at for install as far as price goes and who is a good shop in houston if anyone knows?


Thanks!

I love mine, they look great....and if you have any mechanical sense at all you'd save yourself the money and do the install yourself dude. Its pretty simple cuz even I installed mine and that may be saying a lot ha

I've got some abilities if it comes to nuts and bolts..... But I hate wiring.

Guess I might need to learn.

How long did it take to put them in and any tips? Can I fry anything important with this experiment ?

It took me awhile, but I went a step further by soldering my wires, heat shrinking everything and making sure everything was zip tied and looking as neat as possible. The hardest part is drilling the pyro and that's not really hard. The average guy can do it pretty easily.

Its not so bad, i recommend a boost bolt instead of taking off the intake horn and tapping it. You need to find the proper colored wire in the wiring harness behind the light/dimmer switch. I can't recall the proper one at the moment but you need the right one in order for the guages to not only, light up at night but work off the dimmer switch as well. Drilling and tapping my exhaust manifold was easy for me because i left my truck running with the exhaust brake on and everything just blew away as i was drilling.
