Default Aeroforce Interceptor gauge

I just finished hooking up the gauge last night in my Z. Just gotta say, this thing looks and works great. Just what I need before I start doing motor work! Here's a short vid I posted up on youtube.

Well the biggest thing for me was, it's only one gauge! I didn't like the idea of having 4 or 5 pods all around my dash. It looks real clean. Almost like it belongs there. It gives more readout options than you'll ever need.

Yeah no kidding, i like how many things it does for one unit. I guess i was more meaning like any of the readings or functions in particular or this and that. I've read up on them and wanted to get one for a while, good to hear user feedback though

Actually I was looking at that today.. and the stock gas gauge is actually fairly accurate.. within 2-3% of what I'm reading on the interceptor

I have mine mounted in a single pod. I dont really care to much for the quality cause the buttons seem cheap but it sure does the job and then some.

I love mine, ive got 3. And ill always run atleast one from now on (on anything thats more then lightly modded). I love being able to check the misfires, obd2 codes, and monitor the knock sensors. Nice to have one to carry around to check out a car too.

I bought the sensor kits from Aeroforce tech. Don't remember the exact pricing. Had to drill and tap the bracket that is mounted above the oil filter for the oil pressure sensor, and I had to buy an adapter to attach the fuel pressure sensor to the rail. They require a 5v power source, so I also got a 5v regulator.. Then I just ran the wires through the firewall in to the dash and spliced all the connections together. Not too difficult, just a little time consuming.
