I have a set going into my 'bird, but haven't been in use yet. Construction is nice, but can't say yet on performance.

I have Speedhut gauges in my GTO, and absolutely LOVE them. Fast-acting and accurate, I have oil & fuel transducers for water & oil as well, so can compare.

SpeedHut came out with their' new Street XL line, and are priced similarly as the NVUs. If I had to do it over again, that's they way I would go:

You can get them in any color face & pointer, and choose the bezel too. You can also have them imprint a logo/image/text on the face. Most gauges are programmable to work with diff type of senders, have warning lights, and some have peak-hold.

Don't overlook VDO and Stewart-Warner, both are high quality, accurate gauges. Summit Racing carries them if you want to look. I've run both, and can attest to quality and accuracy, have used them many times over the last 45 years. Both last a lifetime.

No need to go full analog with any 3 of those, new senders are premium quality, accurate, and last a very long time.

Buying a gauge mount is no-brainer, choose one that works for you and has the correct size holes. 2 1/16" is the most common.
