Autometer Phantom A/F Guage... Any Good?

[RuBiCaNT5X]

I started looking around at other gauges to fill my triple pillar with. I've decided on an A/F gauge next. I want to stick with the Phantom line of gauges for as many as I can. Have any of you had good experiences with the Phantom A/F?

they are just about as accurate as any other A/F gauge can be. i was thinking about getting one, seeing as i have a 3 gauge pillar, and only a boost gauge. i wanted a fuel pressure, but i don't know if i wanna spend the amount of money for a electrical one, and someone said that the manuals are better for under the hood. so i might end up getting an A/F gauge along with a EGT of course.

I have one in my car and basically the only reason it is still there is becuase is is filling space. It does what it is supposed to do perfectly fine but it is hardly accurate. It will just give you an idea about what is going on. It can tell you that you are running too lean or rich but not much else. For it to be more accurate, it would need more lights. I looks cool though.

I ran one a while ago, I got rid of it though. The main thing that annoyed me was it's not backlit like all the other ones, so it looks kinda funny at night. But I guess it's a cool looking gauge though.

I have one, I had it on my other car and moved it over the GS-T. Basically it is only good for looks. If you are going to use it for tuning the engine, it is pretty useless. It kinda gets annoying though, the lights are always flashing back and forth. You get used to it though.

I got mine from LoTek. Autometer makes some that affix by two way tape, but I prefered the screw in.

You can get a "modified" guage from www.turbogs.com I know that its a more useful tuning tool when its modified because each LED light represents a certain voltage. Give one of those a try. It will be a better tuning tool than a non-modified one and then will be a quick reference as to your lean/rich guide after that.

Lotek makes the best pods for our cars on the market. Their craftsmanship blows everyone else out of the water.
