My bias opinion, haha!

Granted I know nothing about the scan master, but I love my interceptor gauge. It tells me everything I would ever want to know about my car and is VERY easy to use.

Also, the interceptor can be moved over to ANY car that has OBD II. For example, if you have a Silverado, you can transfer the gauge over to the truck to check/clear codes or to self diagnose a problem.

Just my .02

Intercepter. The round gauge looks so much better.

I have two Scanmasters and they work very well. However, they are vehicle model specific and wash out badly in direct sunlight. I did significant modification to the dash parts they fit into as well. The Scanmasters were the only stand alone gauges I was aware of for monitoring the PCM at the time. Ah well....

I know absolutely nothing about the scan master, so i would have to go with the interceptor gauge. I love my interceptor gauge it is so easy to use, install and looks great in our cars.

Interceptor, has a lot of extra features like a built in shift light as well as many others. Looks good and works great, I love mine.

I like the scanmaster. I use one in my GN and LS1. Not as clean install but I like the setup.
