Default Anyone using a "scangauge" on there ls1 swaps?

I want to run a scangauge http://www.scangauge.com/ on my chevelle. Sorry im kind a newbie when it comes to the digital stuff. I know it says it hooks into a obdII port and i think thats the connection most newer cars have under the steering wheel. What would i need to make this work on my chevelle? Thanks guys.

I plan on running one until i can get everything setup correctly. I had it in my suburban and it worked good, then put it in my cummins and its not very trustworthy in that so I hope it works ok in the cutlass. all you do is plug it into the obd2 port and go

all you need to do is hook up the odbII plug on the ls1. its got nothing to do with the chassis. then plug up the scangauge II and thats it. i got mine mainly for a speedo and i like the other gauges on it. i keep mine on speedo, intake temps, IGN timing and water temp. i went with it cause its the same price as a good speedo and it does alot of other stuff. get it, you will like it. only thing you might not like is there is a delay. if your going 50 mph and gas it. it takes a half a sec to go up but its not that bad. just it only updates about every second. but when it updates its right.

How do you look up the obdII plug to the existing harness?
