Auto Meter Digital Pro Shift System and D-PIC

[KenH]

I need something useful to fill my 3rd gauge spot. I have a WideBand and Boost gauge. Curious if anyone has tried this shift light in a 2 1/16" gauge package. Seems to provide quite a bit of functionality.

It says it is compatible with most V10s, but there seems to be some general disclaimers in the FAQ section about the Viper. I sent Auto Meter two requests for more info, but haven't heard back from them yet.

What about the D-PIC Performance meter? It's similar to the G-Tech in functionality. Be nice to have one permanently mounted in the car.

I'd be interested to see how the performance meter works. The only caveat with that gauge is that is has to be mounted perpendicular to the ground and facing towards the rear. Since it's an accelerometer, it needs to have the right orientation in order to work as advertised. Any idea if your gauge pods would work? Let us know please!

Looks like it has two accelerometers and a calibration setup that allows it be positioned arbitrarily in the vehicle (as would be needed in a gauge pod).

Very cool. Some of the cheaper ones don't allow that. I think something like that is a great way to see how each additional mod helps without having the need for a track (closed roads, no traffic, blah blah blah....you know what I mean!).

My vote is for the performance meter!
