Time to buy a set of gauges for my LS3 swapped triumph TR8.  Dash now consist of a bunch of roll cage and smaller diameter tubing.  In theory, I could fillet a stock TR8 dash and slip it over the tubing that is there, but probably just cover it with black aluminum sheet when I'm done.  The steering column hangs from the dash tubing.  There are also a set of Willwood reverse hung pedals with triple masters tucked up there.  The reservoirs are remote and pop up in the middle of the dash near the windshield.  The plan is to add EPS, so there will be a motor for the steering up there as well.  What I am looking for preferably is an all in one gauge cluster like you would see on a formula car or F1 car.  Digital is preferred.  Also like to get something with all the bells and whistles that has recall and other such features.  Going to need a GPS speedo.  Not opposed to doing individual gauges and making a plate to mount them on, but would rather have something as compact as possible.  What do you guys suggest.  This is my first foray into a complete dash change.  Lots of practice adding gauges to my SCCA cars, but nothing like this.  Would like to keep it under $1500 if possible, but the rest of the budget has come in under, so I can go over if needed.  Plan for car is track days, hill climbs, flying mile competitions, and occasional street duty(mostly to and from shows, and around town during hillclimb weekends).

A lot of these all in one dash clusters read signals off your engine control unit - what are you using to run this LS3?

AiM makes a whole bunch of dash setups and these often show up in formula / sports racing cars.  They seem to range from around $500 for the bottom end up to about $3000.  That is just for the dash cluster - sensors, cables, etc. are extra.  Most of them are set up for data logging.  I'm sure a bunch of people sell them but I know that you can find a range of them at Pegasus just to get an idea of cost for various capabilities.  

Theres obd2 gauges that read from the port.

The other option would be a motorcycle cluster! Should have everything....

I love love love the AEM dash in my 350Z. Not the most intuitive interface for setup, but infinitely customizable.
