I cant seem to find it for sale anywhere. Ill keep looking on TGO.
I think by bolt-in it means it fits in the factory dash w/o modification. Not that you don't have to do anything to hook it up. just the speedo is mechanical so you just need a speedo driver, like this one he includes in his universal setup. You'd have to call him and see how you'd hook it up for your setup


dakota digital makes one too

here are the instructions for the DD version

The DD version seems like a cooler unit and they have been in business for years.

Performance readings
· High speed recall. This is reset at power up and can be manually reset.
· High rpm recall. This is reset at power up and can be manually reset.
· 0-60 mph (0-100kmh) time.
· ¼ mile time.
· ¼ mile end speed. This is reset when the ¼ mile time restarts.

there is a a decent amount of wiring involved
