No, sorry. The only Pyro I have in stock at the moment is a Gaffrig Single Monster!
There's a possibility that I may place an order this week with Livorsi, (proper gaffrig) but they're not the quickest turnaround so it would be 2-3 weeks!!!

Pyro - also known as EGT - Exhaust Gas Temperature Guage - Measures the temperature of the exhaust gasses at the bottom of the block, with a V6 you have one for each bank of three cylinders so if one side starts running cool you know you have one of those 3 cylinders not firing. If you pick up a plastic bag the temp will shoot up faster than water temp and give you some warning of the engine and impellor frying itself!
Hope that helps,

EGT's
Not worth running an EGT unless you have an adjustable ECU.
If the motor runs lean the block will sieze in seconds, and unless you are driving and looking at the gauge constantly then you would never notice.
As for picking up a bag, use an overheat warning light and/or a buzzer.
You would also notice this on the water pressure gauge.
I have 2 gauges in the new Bernico: A moster RPM gauge and a moster Water pressure gauge, I also have a overheat warning light.
Thats it nothing else needed, and I have a 300 Drag motor on the back.
Same goes for fuel pressure once this is set thats it, if you have a problem it would happen so quickly you would'nt notice it on a gauge; (unless you are looking at it along with the EGT)
Only fit these extra gauges if you have money to spare or you want to populate the dash board.

got the liquid speedo !!! but the damn things leaking!!!
they come with a nice powdercoat job !! but if what you say is true they have conned one hell of loads of people in the states!!
they do look good and I suppose prestige has to be earned somehow, but they do cost a packet!!
