does price affect gauge quality?

What are the differences in gauge sets besides price? Color, lights, installation kits, etc. Does the quality of the sensors affect price, or are most all of them accurate within a degree or two and if it does, what seems to be the best type of sensor?

This is what you want to look at first...

other gauges would be your choice, autometer etc...tranny temp and boost

that would take care of your basics

Re: does price affect gauge quality?

Use guages as a reference. Have a base line first. then watch for changes.

Re: does price affect gauge quality?

TRue! but when I raced boats, I used a pressure guage for speedometer(reference) more lbs = more speed. Most guys said they were going about X mph, which was about 6 more than I calculated. BUT I always whipped their but! & I also put three idntical guages on a manifold & found all three different.oiy. I dont know how to tell a good guage. Made in America? Germany? etc...

Bork
On my boat i use a gps for MPH. Pressure/paddel not accurate.
Running against current allway's showed more MPH. I have been in the east river (hells gate) speedo showed 100 plus gps was 81. Strong currents there.
