I was looking at the pictures of Mr. Freeze's gauge pods when I realized how nice it would be to have a shift light that fit into the gauge pod. That way I could have a dual gauge pod on the pillar with a shift light and a boost gauge. Is there such a product?

I just ordered my Raptor Shift light. I also emailed them my idea for a gauge pod shift light.

Nice deck I have the same one.

Anyways, how much are the raptor shift lights if you don't mind me asking?

Does the computer really cause the car to run rich if the rev limiter is hit?

Edit: How bright are the lunar gauges in comparison to the stock gauge cluster or did you put your gauges on a seperate resistor to dim them?

Will Ford void warranty for adding aftermarket gauges? I want to add a lunar boost and fuel pressure gauge, plus an air/fuel. Can you use a wide band sensor with the autometer A/F gauge? Do you think the gauge is useful or not really. $450 for the AEM wide band A/F gauge is a little much right now.

I don't even look at the tach...I shift based on feel and sound.

What wire/pin# at the ecu did you connect to for the shift light signal?
And, which one for the air fuel gauge signal?

Any idea what pins are a 12v ignition only power too?

Thanks,
Matt

I got the shift light installed yesterday. That sucker is bright. It works great and makes a huge difference in the way I shift. No cobra should be without a shift light.

Was installing it there easy? Or a real pain in the ass? I like what they did on their website, same as you describe.
