I think he is talking about aftermarket gauges. I am not sure how to hook them up though.

A lot of times links to other sites that sell performance products end up looking like this:

APC is garbage.
Autometer gauges suck, but the pods are good.
Speedo are decent, but I would go with....

Defi, Corksport, APexi, Greddy, etc. The installation is easier...and the selection of gauges is much larger.

My rx7 has the following guages...

air/fuel mixture guage
oil pressure
fuel pressure

They are all autometer.... I don't know why Groundzero doesn't like'm, they work a million times better than stock. I'm stick'n with autometer! But the other brands he listed are all realible. Just don't go cheap on guages... my friend blew his motor due to a faulty engine tempurature guage!

Your speedo's accuracy and your speed in each gear have nothing to do with your engine mods. If you shifted from 4th to 5th at 7500rpm your speed should be around 130mph (if you have correct diameter tires) and wouldn't have changed much in a few seconds in 5th. It would be a lot cheaper and easier in the long run just to get your speedo checked and if necessary recalibrated. A dyno is a good place to check the accuracy of speedos, and any instrument repairer can recalibrate them. You might also want to check your buddy's "cheap" radar gun.
