Re: The never ending K5 Build LS Swap

I decided to go with the Dakota Digital gauge cluster because they have a BIM module that can pull in data from the Holley Terminator ECu such as oil pressure, RPM, speed, temp, AFR, etc..

I also couldn't resist this Ring Brothers dash bezel. It's pricey but it's a very good quality piece. just the weight of it tells you the material used was top notch and the brushed aluminum gives it a nice touch. matches the steering wheel and my cup holders.

Here is the VHX module for the dakota digital. Another reason I like this compared to others is that you don't have to wire everything directly into the back of the gauge cluster. One wire from the VHX to the back of the cluster and that it. Allow for a much cleaner look imo. '

Found a spot right behind the gauge cluster for the Holley Terminator Max X. The X version also gives you transmission control so no need for two separate ECU.
