that gauge is on my to buy list.

it reads like 16 things at once (you can only see 2 tho, you pick) and even tranny temp or oil pressure i think?

add up the money you would spend on all those gagues with those feautres your saving cash.

and all you do is install it in your OBD port, and ready to GO!

So can you switch between different readings on a whim or do you choose 2 and you're stuck with those? LOVE the fact that it's "plug n play"!

I have one. Its a pretty neat gauge plus it's so simple to install. It displays two parameters at a time but you can setup a cyclic scan which allows you to select 8 parameters and it will display two at a time for whatever amount of seconds you want it to display each set of two.

That's awesome! Are you in the Houston area? I'd like to check it out if you're gonna be at any upcoming meets or whatever.. Do you have the blue backlight?

I guess it's a good gauge, I wanted one for awhile, but it only reads from the PCM not from an external sensor and I'm not sure if I like that. I wonder if it works on LT1's.

You can hook up two additional sensors for oil pressure, fuel pressure, etc.

Cool, that's a pretty cool toy!

If all I want is that one gague, do they make A-Pillar Pods with just ONE gague?

I mean not only is it functional, it just looks BAD ***! Maybe we should start another GP?
