If you're a Corvette enthusiast, you know this ride isn’t just about looks—it's about the experience behind the wheel. Forget all that certification mumbo jumbo; this car is built for driving. Whether you've swapped out that sluggish L82 for a beefy big block or gone full throttle with a turbocharged LS, the Dakota Digital VHX system has your back with top-notch sending units that fit right in.

This kit gives you the option to fill that fifth gauge spot with either a slick LCD message center (VET) or a classic analog clock (VTA). You’ve got a full-size speedometer and tachometer right in your line of sight, so you can keep your focus where it belongs—on the road ahead. The gauge housing is crafted from billet aluminum and finished in a flat black powder coat, keeping it true to the original vibe while adding a touch of modern flair.

Now, let’s talk visibility. The needles light up, the faces are backlit, and the LCD message centers are crystal clear, making it easy to read everything at a glance. But what really sets the VHX Series apart are the little things you might not notice right away—like the micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors that deliver accuracy you can trust. Plus, you can customize your display feedback to suit your style. And don’t sweat it; Dakota Digital backs this with a lifetime warranty, so you know they stand by their work.

Here’s the nitty-gritty on what you’re getting:

• Speedometer: 0-160 MPH (or 0-255 km/h if you prefer metric)
• Tachometer: 0-8,000 RPM
• Oil Pressure: 0-80 psi
• Water Temperature: 100-260°F (or 40-120°C)
• Fuel Level: E, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, F
• Voltmeter: 9-17 VDC
• Clock: 12-hour analog movement

And that’s just the basics. You’ve also got:

• Odometer (million-mile, one-time user settable)
• Dual trip meter (0-9,999.9)
• Performance timers for 0-60 MPH, 1/4 mile, and 1/8 mile runs
• Indicators for everything from turn signals to check engine lights
• Customizable color options—over 30 to choose from!

Worried about brightness? The setup menu lets you dial in your preferred intensity for both day and night. And if you want even more control, you can add a rotary dimmer for on-the-fly adjustments.

Oh, and for those who like to personalize, there are 12 factory preset themes, or you can go all out and pick your colors for each zone. With full LED backlighting, these gauges not only look sharp but are easy to read no matter the time of day.

This setup is specifically designed for the Chevrolet Corvette models from 1978-1982, so you know it’s a perfect fit. Just a heads up—the expected delivery time is about 12-16 weeks, but trust me, it’ll be worth the wait.

So, if you're ready to upgrade your dashboard and take your driving experience to the next level, this Dakota Digital VHX system is just what you need.
