I know how you feel, but instead of looking better, my car would leave any other 4.9 powered Cadillac in the dust.
Maybe I'll do some eye candy work, dress her up like a spring special and do some lighting work and '94 Deville chrome wheels, but nothing that wouldn't look OEM.

Anyways, a oil pressure gauge might be able to read the pressure where the computer reads it. If you could tap into the lead there, it would work well, but I'm not sure if you could do that. Either way it will be better then on earlier cars, like the '69 Camaro for example, where the oil pressure gauge needed a oil line to run through the dash.

I was thinking about a tach, but the one I want I can't afford right now.In order to avoid looking out of place, I'd suggest a gauge size of no more then 2.5 inches.

Edit: if anyone wants to know, this is the tach I want, $299 MSRP, I could have gotten one for 90 though.
