Good luck with a double gauge pillar pod that keeps your handle.
I had to get a single in order to fit the handle. Don't think they make a double.(with 2 there's no room for the grab handle.)

Oh,,,and you can put the pump in now or later.

Well crap.

I'd like to have a boost and Air/fuel gauge.
I just put onboard air on my truck and had a hell of a time finding a place for those gauges.

Anyother ideas? If it's gonna be up on the dash I want it to look decent.

Thanks for the tip on the fuel pump.

This is my set up now. https://www.f150online.com/forums/me...8-100-0204.jpg
the one on the dash is carbon fiber that I had colored(I have an extra one of them if ya need it.It's just plane carbon fiber.
Summit has this one for your steering column. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

I think you can get a double column pod made over on Lightningrodder.

I agree with phil, MM custom works makes real nice guage pods


efuerin, just take your time and make sure you have it all in order before you do the install, it's safer to go slow and not rush it even if you have to wait a couple extra months in order to have the right parts installed to support the extra power

personally I would install the seperator plate (it's the same one I am running) and the fuel pump I don't trust the boost-a-pumps but many people do and I ran a boost-a-pump on my procharged truck for a while if I was in Texas I'd send it to you to get you by

I'm getting a new fuel pump. The kit came with a boost a pump already but I'm not going to put it on.

What's this seperator plate your taling about? I hope you didn't already explain this to me and I forgot.

I plan on doing the pump and tranny kit fairly quick.

Not sure on the price,,,never bought one...lol
Here ya go.

Can I run this shift kit(seperator plate) and still tow?

I know the high performance tunes are a no-no with towing. I always figured it was becuase of the harsh shifting.

So if this shift kit firms up the shifting will towing be a problem for me?

As a repercussion of the FT s-plate?

Nah, - I would inform the tuner and definitely have the towing tune worked into the mix. It comes with the package purchased any-ho. She should tow even better!
