TOUR DE CENTERFORCE
When it comes to enhancing the performance and reliability of performance cars, it seems as if enough is never enough, regardless of the vehicle, drivetrain or chassis. Then again, when you consider the problems that often cripple our cars despite the inherent strengths or improvements upon them, it’s often the driver that has the most detrimental effect on everything above the pavement.

Show-Stopping Design
This panel looks as good as it reads. Made from black polycarbonate with a slick brush-stroke finish, it turns your dash into the centerpiece of the cabin. Every gauge—speedo, tach, fuel, volts, oil, water temp—is dialed in for accuracy and legibility. Turn signal and high-beam indicators? Seamless. Automatic nighttime dimming? Yup, so you’re never squinting or distracted while driving.
Tech That Impresses
Intellitronix didn’t just make it pretty—they loaded it with features that make your truck smarter than most new rides. The speedometer hits 160 MPH and includes one-button calibration, odometer, trip meter, high-speed recall, 0–60 timer, and even ¼-mile tracking. Tachometer? 0–8000 RPM in 100 RPM increments. Volts? 10–18. Oil? 0–100 PSI. Water temp? 100–260°F. Fuel gauge? Programmable for Ford, GM, Chrysler, VDO, and aftermarket senders. Basically, it’s like strapping a miniature command center onto your dash.
Easy Install, No Drama
Intallation is idiot-proof. Comes with sending units, hardware, clear plexiglass, and step-by-step instructions. Works with both mechanical and electronic transmissions. Want pinpoint speed accuracy? Add the optional Intellitronix GPS Speedometer Sender—never worry about tire size, gear ratios, or transmission type throwing you off.
