GM introduced this build at SEMA in 2015, which inspired me to build my version for my ’68.
There’s a lot of pictures and details that allow you to get a good look at what’s going on under the hood.

Dakota Digital Gauges

Dakota Digital VHX is the easiest way to add a complete gauge cluster system for both the LS and LT engine series.
Dakota uses the signals from the OBD connector in the GM Performance wiring harness to display speed, rpm and water temperature. The oil pressure must be driven by Dakota’s proprietary sender 03-8 which can be installed in the oil filter boss that contains a stock GM sensor. To drive the signals you need BIM-01-2.
Here’s the VHX control panel mounted in the dash. DD uses cat 5 conventional computer cables to connect the gauges into the control box (lower right corner).
The installation manual is here for the VHX and here for the BIM-01-02.

2017 Camaro ZL1 at Nürburgring

Check out the power, speed (180 mph) and instant revs coming out of the turns from the supercharged LT4 engine. This car is using the new 10 speed automatic, but is in 6-speed mode with rev match which explains why you can hear the engine downshift so well.
