Whether you've swapped out the underwhelming L82 for a powerful big block or are rocking a turbocharged LS, this instrumentation system ensures you have the information you need right at your fingertips.

The micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors provide unmatched accuracy, while the customizable LCD message center (VET) or analog clock (VTA) fills the fifth gauge opening in your center cluster. Each gauge is housed in a beautifully crafted billet aluminum casing, powder-coated in flat black to maintain that classic Corvette look.
