Jer +1 When I took mine for a test drive for the first time, the previous owner said "when you see that needle on the boost jump, you better hang on!"

3ponies Posted December 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Yep, the minor tweaking I have done puts you back in the seat pretty hard! I really love this car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad SAI stuck with the CF gauges I asked, and the Shelby owners spoke up loud and clear! It makes the product way harder to manage, but I agree that it's worth it.

2010KonaBlueGT Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 \\..... remember, if you're watching the Boost gauge, you're not hitting it hard enough. LOL; I said something as much in another thread. I have a Ford Racing Vacuum/Boost gauge mounted in the far left HVAC vent with a Roush vent pod mount. I'll be DAMNED if I have the time, just to get a quick GLANCE at it (let alone trying to actually ascertain, determine and compute what the number actually is then make the decision if it's too high or too low!) when I'm on the wood, at or near max. boost, all while I'm shifting gears, sawin' the wheel trying to keep her straight, between the lines, watching my rear/side mirrors AND in front of me looking for Johnny Law AND John Q. Public making a left or U-turn in front of me (and yes, have had BOTH occur). I don't know about anyone else but I find it gets just a wee bit busy when 750+ HP hits you in the back of the head. When it was still at 540 it required my full attention but not nearly as much as it does now. A Go-Pro mounted with one of the new headrest mounted bars (Revan Racing or VMP) seems like the perfect cure for what ails me at this point. It's on my 'to do' list along with a few other items.

2010KonaBlueGT Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Can anyone advise where I can get the "A" pillar triple gauge pod and gauges for a 2011 convertible? Autometer. I've seen the same exact one used on the Super Snake (as seen on Blackout's 2012 SS) on display at Pep-Boys in Colorado Springs, CO. I'm not sure if the Coupe and 'Vert are two different animals though. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2010KonaBlueGT Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 I believe they are slightly different. Could be, I can't say with 100% certainty. I didn't have them side-by-side for a exact/direct comparison but I did get to see both of them up close and personal. I was going to replace the gauges in Blackout's Super Snake for him so I looked over the pillar mount, through-hole in the firewall, the gauges and the gauge transducers/senders real well. Then shortly after I inspected his car I saw the Autometer pillar gauge mounting pod at Pep-boys and noted the thinness of the item and the texture/finish of the item and it appeared to be the exact identical part. If there is a difference, it's not very obvious. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if the Coupe and 'Vert are two different animals though. Phill In another thread on the subject of A-pillar guage mounts I mentioned the Autometer item. I can't find that other thread but I did find the A-pillar pod on e-bay and it includes a part number; P/N: 12132 2010-2012 Mustang http://www.ebay.com/itm/Auto-Meter-12132-Gauge-Works-Triple-Pillar-10-12-Mustang-/350985877801?&_trksid=p2056016.m2518.l4276 Hope That Helps, Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dthamiltonhpmd Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 3ponies! The Shelby gauge pod set you have will be great! I installed the same unit about a year ago and its great! The pod comes with white lites in the gauges, you might want to consider a different color of lites before you install the pod, however they can be changed after installation too. I changed my lites out with a blue LEDs which Summit Racing carrys, in green and red also. They are a little spendly at $12 each but look very nice.

07gt500conv Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 I changed my lights out to be red and LED to go with my dash gauges. My map lights are also red LED's. At night, I have had the comments of being in a submarine environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
