Thanks Todd!

What gauges do you plan on running with the autometer pod?

I'm going with GlowShift boost/vacuum and oil pressure. I like the way they have 7 backlit colors to choose from using the little molmontary button on the face of the gauge. It will remember the color you choose which is nice.

If a plan I have works I have the possibility of adding 2 more gauges but I'm not sure what additional gauges would I wanna run........

Take a look at your rear wheel fitment before and after installing the GT350 brake kit.

After owning a 15 EB and now the GT350 I have a feeling that the e brake on the 350 will push the rear wheels out 5mm or so.

You are correct, this is going to push the rears out some. I will be taking a measurement and ordering new rear wheels to pull them back in. Full Tilt Boogie is guessing 5/16" or so.

I knew it, your existing wheels should work though.

Forgive me, because I truly don't know... what's the purpose of the silicone hoses? Just underhood dressup or does it do something functional?

appearance and they are more durable/dont flex like rubber hoses.

Well, for me mostly under hood dress up. I have the Mishimoto radiator which I will be installing with the Whipple so I snatched these up to install at the same. They had an almost 50% off Black Friday sale so I sad what the hell lol.

I will say...... technically they do a better job with heat and will last longer but I never would have changed to them strictly for that, I would have just waited for a blow out to get them. Between being in there anyway installing the radiator and the massive sale I said why not.

I know, when I opened the box the other day I was like YES they're red lol

 

[Terminated]

The FTBR set up looks great. Eventually I will do their rear kit so I can have matching Brembos all around.

Gauge pod fits in there perfectly! Plenty of room
