I run the Autometer phantom 2-5/8" elec. fp guage mounted in the A-pillar pod. It has excellent response and is very reliable...simple install for the most part too. I ended up mounting the sending unit on the driver side fender with a braided fuel line feeding it off the fuel rail (had to shop for the fuel lines and fittings...which is found at any performance shop).
A little pricey, but can't think of anything I'd like better.
As for placement...well, I don't think any placement besides the tach is going to be something you can easily read during a wot blast in the 1/4 mile. The nice thing about the A-pillar is you can focus on the fp during testing and still keep an eye on the road...can't do that too well if your mounting anywhere else (expect for where you have it now).

Here's what I have now but I don't like the "Look at me"/Ricer/5.0Mustanger look it gives off. So, I want to bring the gauge inside.
I'll do some more checking. If anyone else has something to add here, please - chime in!

Well, here's a pic of what it looks like in my gn:

I'm not too excited about the a-pillar pods avaliable, but as before, there just isn't a great location for the gauge elsewhere in the cab that doesn't look odd imho. I just think you need to place the guages that are used the most near the line of sight (i.e. fp, boost, tach).

The "Line of Sight" thing is a big concern for me too. Although I love the positioning of the F/P gauge on the hood, I do not like how it alters the looks of the car.
I wish the A-Pillar pods provided more angle for the gauges so they are not so upward slanted and positioned them more vertically faced.
Does anyone know if there are A-Pillar pods out there that do not slant the gauges back so severely?

gauges
Autometer Cobalt 2 1/16" mounted above the radio pod with boost gauge and scanmaster all on fabracated bracket, no holes and no damage to dash and can be removed easliy. All three are in one spot so a quick glance to the right of the I/P cluster, all info right there
There is no reflection on the windshield at night, it's below the top of the dash(can't be seen from other traffic) I've been messing around trying to place the gauges, didn't like the pillar location and had to come up with my own.
