I have often seen discussions about gauges in general and EGT units specifically on the list. Egauges is often cited as a quality source. This is fine for gauges of marginal accuracy and response time appropriate for "home" or hobbyist use. In my experience, the best gauges with the highest technology at reasonable cost are those offered by Speedhut. Their EGT units are about $160 retail, feature no additional cost gauge face customization and can often be found for 15 to 20% off that retail price on their periodic sales. These are true digital gauges driving a stepper motor based  output for a traditional analog-like display. Easily the equal of many professional gauges at 3X the cost.

Hey Gary,

Is the gauge you bought the same as this:

http://www.greaseworks.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=24_67&products_id=611

Wondering because Greaseworks is asking $219.50. I think the egauge.com price is 
about $135.00. I can't be sure because there are no pics on the egauge.com site 
of any Isspro gauges.
