Yes< I'm handling the install myself... the SH dash is much easier to get in and out than the OEM panel. No, this is the original brushed panel we used when developing the replacement gauges... I wanted a more finished appearance for the panel that will reside in the car so I sent it out to a...

My FGT dash with carbon/black hydrographic panel & Speed Hut gauges. I'm anxious to get it all back in the car and be finished with the gauge debacle for a while. mardyn

Rolled in my FGT over to my friend's shop this morning to work on a new experiment for my car... Speed Hut is dash performing flawlessly... not only a viable option VJ, but the best option when considering the other choice is to pay three times as much and end up with the same poor quality...

I had a problem when shopping for the Die Hard battery for my FGT... looked for months but couldn't find one that hadn't been sitting on the shelf for many months... some were over two years old, still on the shelf at Sears. Lucked out and found the Sears store in Denton,TX just received two...

Thanks MAD' but let's give the real credit to Aaron and Wade over at Speed Hut, I was part of the program, but essentially just the guinea pig. mardyn

Those original Autometer gauges are an abomination to, what otherwise is, a great car.... The Speed Hut dash/gauge package in my car continues to look great and operate flawlessly. I'm very pleased with mine. mardyn

Thank you all for the birthday wishes.. Took the FGT for a short drive into town for lunch today, what a joy it is to hop up on I-20 and step on the gas, to feel the acceleration, with all the gauges responding, shift lights illuminating, speedometer climbing, the scenery passing by.. all at...

carbon solenoids? I guess I haven't heard about those yet... I'm hoping to see some pics once the install is completed. mardyn

Man 'bar, those CF dash panels look great... good job. mardyn

The shift lights in the tach work great. I've still got mine set kinda' low so I can watch them illuminate as I progress through gears... I was gonna' try and take a pic (with everything lit up) to post up, but things are happening so fast in the lower gears, and then in the upper range he car...

Happy Thanksgiving to all our friends in the FGT community.... and special thanks to all those that do so much make this forum possible. mardyn

It's not as easy as just replacing the existing OEM sensor. I believe the OEM signal from the PCM is maxxed out at around 15psi, hence the need for another sensor. ( As I understand it, the OEM boost gauge reading is not actual manifold pressure, but a calculation of boost/vacuum based on flow...

I understand that they are trying to accommodate the requests for the 30 psi boost gauge as well as a larger diameter speedometer. All my Speed Hut stuff is still operating at 100% and I'm very pleased. My next project is to do the gauge panel with (either) a carbon fiber overlay or...

That new clutch set up is awesome... removing 30 pounds of rotational mass is just monsterous. That alone should make a good difference in overall performance, although the roll out (from a stop) may suffer a bit. I switched (from steel) to an aluminum flywheel on my mustang and I hate it...

^^ this More to come later... I'm neck deep in our home building project today. btw... Speed Hut 30 psi boost gauge is in the initial phase of development. Patience. mardyn

No, I think the modified data stream travels the conventional path through the PCM/GCM and then on to the gauge. What kind of boost gauge do you currently have in there? mardyn

I'm not sure how the other gauge gets the data. It's my understanding that the GT's stock PCM and associated electronics are signal limited to about 15 psi worth of boost. More than that requires an additional interface (Mafia) device that interacts with the on-going magic and reduces the...

The higher level boost gauge was discussed during our initial planning phase and is a definite possibility in the future, but for the first round, we elected to go with the gauge increments that were compatible with the existing data stream from the GCM. I'm sure they can do a matching one...

Not sure about the GCM theory... my new Speed Hut Dash/Gauges cluster has been performing perfectly for the past two months during testing with the original GCM... no other changes made. My car had three dead gauges, speedometer, boost and temp... yeah, I could have spent the $4K+ and had 'em...

I've had a few people contact me with questions about the new alternative SH gauge package I recently installed in my FGT. Mainly asking about the dash illumination and what exactly I had to do to make it work and fit. As I indicated in one of the other gauge threads, the new SH dash is...
