    i prefer electric but theres nothing wrong with a quallity made mech gauge i think blitz are mech but instead of a cheaply made plastic tube they use a braided line

    i run speco electronic 2 5/8 at 90bucks a pop there one of the best bang for buck gauges no bullshit no fancie lighting effects straight up whats she doing readings

    that said i've run mech water temp,oil temp for over a year and no dramas the only drama i realy had was the oil press line keeped on getting a kink in it
