Pillar: autometer boost and fuel pressure, AEM wideband

Center Vent location: aeroforce interceptor

And soon I will have an AIT in the center console in front of the shifter where my meth controls are to monitor the intake temp downstream of the meth so I can see how much of a differance it makes.

Google the Pro Sport gauges. They are nice and cheap too. The alarm type work really well. You won't be disappointed.

i like the dynojet wideband because it has a warning light (i got mine set to show lean if over 4000 rpms)...it also has an output trigger for alky...n20 or whatever. I keep forgetting but i want to set mine up to trigger the eboos2 to cut boost in half if i go lean. It can be done...i just keep forgetting to do it
i like the eboost2 as well. it has a lot of functions and can ramp boost by time...trigger boost levels by switches...all sorts of stuff. right now it turns on my 2nd fuel pump at 1psi

Agree, along with the wideband use boost and fuel pressure, this is what I got to fill in my pillar. I was opriginally gonna go with a built 4l80-e and have a trans temp but I am going with a viper spec M6 now so not gonna get one. I was going to put that in the vent. Hey chad I really like your setup you have there thats awesome, what did the IAT one cost ya? Also, call me a retard but whats that interceptor one?

Certain applications will actually run under a vaccum at idle as do our engines right. As in our PCV system, this is actually a good point you should research since you are new to the game. Depending on your setup you will be going with you will need a catch can and properly vented/vac sytem so you don't build boost in your crankcase. Check out a thread around here started my the Boost king himself MightyMouse. I am no expert in FI but his thread is great info. It popped up just last week i think. I will see if I can dig it up for ya.

The extra IAT gauge is $60 here

The AeroForce Interceptor is essentially a scanner that allows you to display any 2 parameters your computer monitors. I have mine on KR all the time for one, and I toggle the other one for whatever I want to look at at the time- coolant temp, IAT (pre meth), fuel trims, etc. etc. Pretty cool little gauge. Plus, it has 2 inputs for additional sending units, so I could just buy another IAT sending unit and not need another gauge, just toggle to it on the interceptor. Could also use one of the inputs for another wideband on the other bank, or any other sensor you want to monitor. You get the idea It also has a built in shift light, but I don't use that feature since I already have one behind the d/s dash vent.
