You have a v-8, with 2 ego's on it, and can read 2 bar graphs in a 2" guage
while driving? How? I have to have somebody else sitting in the passenger seat
because when I floor it it's all I can do to keep the thing on the road and
shift, no time for dash observations.(or guts enough to take eyes off road 
either) And this is in a vw rabbit.(alright, I cheated 125 of those horses were 
nitrous, but the ego worked to dial in the fuel/air/nitrous mix!:-)
