Racing Gauges
Racing gauges monitor the most important systems in your race car, helping you track oil, water, fuel, pressure, and temperature before small problems become race-ending failures. The most commonly used race car gauges, including fuel, pressure, water and oil temperature gauges, tachometers, boost gauges, and pyrometers, show whether your car is staying within the right range during a race. We also carry lights and warning systems that alert you fast, so you can make a quick pit adjustment and help prevent engine damage. Gauges by AutoMeter, Longacre, Holley, and other top racing brands are built to handle vibration, heat, and the demands of competition. Whether you need to replace a faulty unit, add pressure gauges for better system feedback, or complete a new dash setup, explore Behrent’s for the gauges you need to stay informed lap after lap.

Individual Gauges vs. Gauge Panels vs. Digital Dash Displays
Individual racing gauges work well when you’re replacing one bad gauge or monitoring one specific system. Gauge panels are a better fit when you want oil pressure, water temperature, fuel gauges, pressure gauges, and tach readings grouped in one place. Digital dash displays give drivers multiple readings in a compact, modern layout, which can help clean up the cockpit. Warning lights are smart add-ons when the driver needs quick alerts without watching every gauge during a race.
Choose Racing Gauges by What You Need To Monitor
| Gauge Type | Best For | What It Helps Monitor |
|---|---|---|
| Oil pressure gauge | Most race cars | Oil pressure loss before engine damage occurs |
| Water temperature gauge | Cooling system monitoring | Engine temperature and overheating risk |
| Fuel pressure gauge | Carbureted, EFI, and race fuel systems | Fuel delivery consistency under load |
| Tachometer | Shift timing and RPM control | Engine speed and shift points |
| Boost gauge | Turbo or supercharged engines | Boost pressure and overboost risk |
| Pyrometer / EGT gauge | Tuning and exhaust heat monitoring | Exhaust gas temperature under race conditions |
| Voltmeter | Electrical system checks | Battery and charging system status |
| Gauge panels/warning lights | Fast visibility during racing | Multiple readings or alerts in one setup |
Frequently Asked Questions About Racing Gauges
What kind of gauges do you need in a race car?
The essential racing gauges for a race car usually include fuel, oil pressure, water temperature, oil temperature, electrical, tachometer, and speedometer gauges. Many racers also add boost, pyrometer, and warning lights depending on the engine setup and what systems they need to monitor during a race.
What are boost gauges for?
A boost gauge monitors pressure in a turbocharged or supercharged engine. It helps you see when boost is too big or outside the target range, which can protect the engine from excess pressure, poor tuning, or damage under hard load.
What is a pyrometer gauge?
A pyrometer gauge measures exhaust gas temperature. It helps you watch engine heat and tune conditions, especially when changes in exhaust temperature may point to fuel, airflow, or engine load issues that need attention before they cost performance.
