Default New Gauges .... 5" or 3 3/8" Tach/Speedo??

I am planning a new gauge layout, and trying to get a feel for what most people are using. I am going with the Autometer Carbon Fiber series.

I agree, I think the 5" is the way to go.

Looks like 5" Tach & Speedo win, handsdown!! Thanks for the responses.

My buddy George's 71 Camaro ...... one of my prime inspirations for doing this upgrade.
I will be posting a full build thread on this upgrade for those that are thinking of pulling the trigger!!

I like the 5" better myself. Covan Thunder Road looks kinda cool...... But I think I'll build my own with 5" autometers using a dash blank and cutting my own holes. Does anyone else have any pics of there dash set up???
