plug and play swap
grab any one w/ a tach from ebay or car-parts.com
a 04MC ss non s/c will work as well and gives you a few extra gauges

the ss will work,but the boost (obviously) wont

www.bbengineer.com can reprog the odometer for you
thanks took me to xactly what i needed
Beat me to the punch, Kevin.

Next time.... Next time....
lol you two are like my saviors when it comes to my questions all this help is GREATLY appreciated cause i have no one else to help me!
I feel your pain,one thing i never liked about the 9C1 Impalas guage cluster.It was just to basic,i mean its a Cop car for crying out loud!! All my other Police cars had oil pressure,temp,volt meter,and a gas guage.

This is the cluster i want....

Dannyboy, that's an LS Sport or SS cluster.

Careful though, there are supercharged and non-supercharged SS clusters out there. If you buy a supercharged SS cluster, you'll have a dead gauge for boost pressure.
yea i was on bb engineer and i was looking at that cluster and im not sure how to insure i dont get the ss cluster.
Ah, you are online. Good.

I have left a message in the taillight topic and a pm in your inbox regarding taillight covers on ebay right now.

As far as this topic goes, it appears that maybe the SS gauge clusters do not have a boost gauge in them. On his website, under

"Impala/Monte Carlo SS Clusters" The cluster pictured is the "Upgraded SS Cluster", for $200 USD. This is what you're after. He will require you to sign off on a form which says the milage you tell him to program into the cluster is the milage which will be on your car when you install the cluster from him. This is solely to protect yourself and him from odometer fraud.

drop him an email and tell him you want an SS NON S/C'd or similar gauge (aka SS W/O the boost gauge) He should know what youre talking about either way
thanks all my questions are bein answered at once and i cant wait untill i can get everything. the cluster will probably be one of the last things i do if at all because my car is a big part of my life and im not sure how im gonna work out instalation.

So I'm not nuts in thinking that there are SS clusters w/boost gauges. Thanks :smile:
lol yeah i wanna have my rev limiter removed but thats a bad idea without a tach so im gonna have to work it out
no need to remove it or adjust it until you get into some bigger mods, the rev limiter is there to keep you from messing something up , and is actually set pretty well to the stock powerband, once you get a cam/rockers you can always get it bumped up to that power band, the speed limiter on the other hand ;)
true true i just wanna hit 300 hp. ever though the world is against me i will do it. by september FTW
FI is the key LOL.... bolt on and your right around there :D
I'm only 17 lol can't afford forced induction. Just trying to get a daily driver wit a kick lolls
I'm 17 and I'm paying for all my mods lol so I'm just trying to hit 300 with bolt ons
You've got a lot of work to do if you want to hit 300 with bolt-ons.
no offense, but you wont hit 300 w/ bolt ons unless you spray the piss out of it... Stock for these cars was 200 @ the fly wheel, I dynoed just over that at the wheels w/ a cam, cheaper and easier to do a top swap, worst case scenario, ~$1000 and your right around 260 @ the wheels....
