Well haven't figured ouy horse power reading yet but i will say what it reads is awesome... throttle percentage, rpm,mph,air intake temp, miles to the gallon, 0-60 times 1/8 and 1/4 mile times(best to test this at the track not the street wheel spin will have an effect on reading)it alos reads allot of other stuff. 98 oil pressure gagues are true readings in the 98s so no need for that it does come with 2 analog wires for trans temp for example.

I agree..........this little gauge is AWESOME! I just installed mine a couple days ago and the only problem I am having.............................. is focusing on driving the car rather than staring at the gauge on my A pillar and scrolling thru all the readouts Definately worth the cash for it. Reads and deletes DTC as well.

How does the shiftlight work? Does it occupy a reading spot or have its own light/place? How bright/noticable is it?

Just put mine in.

Ill Do this and post it up tonight.. Look for it tomorrow..

The oil PSI Doesn't work for my 98 Z It reads like 98987 Psi Lol

I always leave mine on Intake temp and tranny temp because i have a aftermarket aluminum intake and a 3000 stall. Id like to put another one in.

I have had my pod going at the same time my car was being EFI live dynotuned. Every thing reads the same.

But I need new tires for the rims i just bought so I may be selling my whole Triple A pillar.


The Hp and 1/4 mile are kind of silly. More of a way to further aid in your purchase...

Shift light, you just set the rpm and when it reads the rpm it will light up.


I might as well just post a video of me messing with everything i guess...

Im more than satisfied with this little guy.

Anyone have a pic of the plug? Does it have a 90* angle to keep you from bumping the wire?

I ordered mine from New Era Performance Parts which is a site sponsor. I ordered it on a Tuesday and I had it the following Wednesday. Like I said they drop shipped it to me from AeroForce which happens to be in Ohio up by Cleveland so maybe I got it a day or so faster?

It is a piece of cake to wire up. I have mine on a single A pillar pod. Looks clean and tight on the lower A pillar. Just hide the wire up under the dash. Oh and also get one of those 'Add a fuse' things from an auto store. Makes it very easy. I plugged mine into the gauges fuse. Total time including removing A pillar trim and driling holes for wires and pod.......less than 1 hour.
