Well I only have one Autometer gauge, I don't really have anything to compare it to. It works, is there something out there that works better?

Just wondering if you have had any problems with them, since I bought some last week. A lot of people run aem or defi guages.

No problems, I was just looking at an AEM truboost gauge online yesterday for s and g's, I thought it would be perfect since I don't have a boost controller yet and it goes with the AEM wideband gauge that I already have.

Have you tried getting a brighter HID? How does it compare to the 2007 before headlights? I really do want to go back to stock on my headlights.

Well I just bought two each 225/45/17 BFG drag radials to take to the track. I keep getting 2.3 60fts and can't seem to break a 9.4 in the 1/8th, so hopefully these DR's well help. I plan on putting them on my stock rims and putting them on at the track only. I did look into slicks and wheels but I don't have the money for them right now.

My best times at the drag strip so far are a 9.454@81.16mph and a 14.3@103.98mph in the 1/4 on primewell's (generic brand from firestone) 215/45/17's.

I don't have LSD either.

Well LSD will probably be my next mod. We'll see how that goes.

Here is an old video from last year where I was going down the 1/8th mile track. I had generic 215/45/17 primewell firestone tires, got a 9.4:

Here is a timeslip that I got from IFO Montgomery last year. This is with the current set up I have now (215/45/17 Primewell crap tires). I was just there for the T&T to get some 1/4 mile times:
