Gauges versus racepak
 

I put speedhut gauges in my build but really not happy with them. Thinking about going to a racepak. What gauges our people using with there ls builds? Just trying find something that may work better far accurate, bright at night, and just works.

Feed us more info ....car ? Theme ? ...use of said car ? Drive train? .. If it's more daily driver with a ls I'd run Dakota digital's new hdx series . If they're made for your car that is

I'm considering SpeedHut, any chance you could give us more color on what you are disappointed with? Thanks in advance!

I have a LS7 with a 4l80E and my shop wired the gauges to speed huts instructions. The gauges do not light the way they showed when I built them. They are very dim. I called Keith at customworks we our going try couple things he told us. We will see if that works. It is a 70 camaro by the way.

Was supposed to look like this at night. If looks nothing like this.

I'm using AutoMeter Ultra-lites. Mine are bright at night, in fact so much that I have to dim them down some. I would think that you have a possible dimmer switch issue? Something doesn't sound right... I would trouble shoot the issue extensively before you ditch what you have.
Now on the other hand, the Racepak stuff is sick!

Which shifter is that?

Also, race paks are functional and bitchen. I vote race pak.

Any night pics? Just curious as I also have some speedhut gauges on the way..

I've used 3 sets of Speedhut gauges and have never had an issue with the brightest. I'm assuming you are using the Spedhut dimmer switch with your setup.

Btw .. I now have a Racepak IQ3s in my camaro and on full brightness it's like sitting in a spaceship LOL

No lie there. I think I have my brightness of the screen on 3-4 out of 10.

I love my Dakota Digital HDX gauges. I have had both them and the VHX series and have no issues at all. Using their OBD 2 BIM module, it transmits all of the PCM readings to the gauges. Each gauge has a warning light and you are able to change the colors of the gauges.
