Which gauge brand do u trust?

Wondering which company has reliable/accurate gauges and which would u trust. Some people said the AutoMeter is not has good as everyone think. but when i go to a NHRA event, most if not all the racers there use AutoMeter. What ya think?

i trust in autometer and they are going to be in my car. plus they have a pretty good partial sponsorship program you should talk to them about if you are looking into that.

I had a couple GReddy gauges and an Autometer in my Eclipse, and I liked them. The VDO gauge I tried sucked.

Funny, I was very happy with my VDO boost and EGT, but opted to change them out in favor of Defi-link gauges for simplicity of wiring, ease of adding more gauges, and the record/play/memory functions and whatnot. I haven't gotten to test them out yet unfortunately. Do remember though that VDO makes OE gauges for several US and European auto manufacturers. I think they're a fantastic choice for an inexpensive and clean looking aftermarket gauge. (their white face gauges match the Lancer gauges quite well to boot, and with a red back-light it's pretty much dead on).

Auto Meter's mediocre imo. I think the real problem with them is the stigma attached to them. Do you really need the voltage, water temp and oil temp gauges on your hot ride with intake and exhaust? Of course! Go Auto Meter! Other than that, their sensors seem to be ok (at very least tolerably accurate as compared to other manufacturers) and they have a billion different styles to choose from...but they just don't do it for me personally.
