1). How much are they? I doubt if they are, the cheapest guages I would bother with is Autometer.

2). I think you can get them refilled at a 1/4 mile track (on north 2 hours in Brainerd and one east like an hour and a half in Wisconsin) but you might want to check a speed shop like DB, LSE, or MAP.

Re: 2 Questions...

About any car place that will sell a nitrous kit can also refill them.

Re: 2 Questions...

Glow shifts are good. I've got 5 of them in the car. All work really good and very accurate from what I've seen. A/F, EGT, Oil pressure, voltage, and fuel pressure. I rock it. They're pretty nice.

Re: 2 Questions...

I got one for my fuel pressure. Wasn't accurate from when it came. I had to tear it apart and adjust the settings on it and calibrated it with a mechanical gauge. Works perfect now. Overall not a bad gauge but I would check to make sure they are accurate. Also you can get autometer gauges for almost the same price.
