Default how accurate is the engine temp? fbody

not the guage but the digital readout that hptuner would show? i know the gauge is a dummy gauge but how about what the computer sees?

im currently using an app and wanted to know if its reliable enough. (i decided to get the app to monitor IAT.)

on a side note. what should a max IAT should a turbo ls1 see on average california weather. 80-100*

The sensor is pretty accurate. It's within a few degrees of my spa gauges that's mounted above cylinder 7.

The lower the better for turbo IAT's. Cruising around I think you'd want under 130*. I know meth injection is awesome for lowering IAT's.
