If you're in the market for a good gauge, look NO further. This is the one-stop, do everything you could ask for, gauge setup. Wanna know boost? RPMS? Knock? Timing? Coolant Temps? Injector Pulse Width? Intake temps? Check Engine Lights? You name it, and the gauge will tell you. One power wire, and one plug into the OBDII port, and away you go!!!

Check 'em out on the Web! They even produce a Redline specific gauge, so lets thank them by buying that sucker!

I see you have the comp package. What is the difference from the Boost & Ladder Tach and the Interceptor Scanner? Where did you mount the scanner? Just learning, Brian

I got it and installed it this weekend. I will say that Aeroforce tech is a really good company to deal with. They respond to your emails really quickly and are really flexable. It is a really cool tool. I put it with my autometer boost gauge on my a-piller pod (50 on ebay, go find it yourself)
There are 4 things I would like this to have in the future (not that it isn't an amazing product.
1) It comes in three display colors: red, blue, and white. I reallllllly wanted a color to match my dash. My autometer does and it would have looked really clean.
2) I wish I could log to a memory card or direct to a laptop and then analyze on the computer later. It has a record/playback, but I wanted to see more sensor values.
3) I wish you had a little more flexability on the screen layout. Say to be able to fit 4 sensor values instead of 2, or what about 1 big one.
4) If you could have your "Favorite" or "Default" mode. So that whenever you were scrolling through to say look at your batt voltage or SCIP you could quickly jump back to your engine load/rpm (my personal default). Sometimes it can take a minute to reset your settings if you start changing the display.

I have the dual set up in whiteface with the silver bezels and they are a great match to our stock gauge cluster. Aeroforcetech is a good company and Todd & Pat really care about putting out a good product. There was much involved in getting the interceptor to read out the parameters correctly in our car and the guys never quit, they just kept trying different hardware configurations to get our codes and get the right PIDs until success was at hand. Thanks Aeroforcetech!

As a side note, performance items for vehicles is not new to Todd. He was behind burning performance chips for the GM Syclones and Typhoons and a few other projects that upped the performance on several vehicles. We owe a lot to the "little guys" like Todd & Pat that use the education from their day jobs to give us car enthusiasts neat products like the Interceptor Scan Guage.

So now that I got my dual setup installed - WOW!!! Of all the parameters that are available, which are the most prevalent/important 4 that I should be viewing? Better yet, are there maybe certain instances that I'd want a few different parameters up over others (ie at the track vs. city driving)?

Also, with all these paramenters and the numbers they're spitting back at us...anyone got some info as to what we should be seeing (ranges maybe) and what it would me if any given paramenter was outside the "green" at any time? Seems like so a powerful tool to have at my fingertips, I just don't have enough know-how to fully understand what's there and how to use it to its full potential.

Hahahaha... that's what everyone goes through. Just start asking. Alot of them end up being kinda self-explanatory. The other ones take some thought. Just start posting questions. Some of the key ones, for those of us that are modded. Are injector pulse width (tells you how much you intejectors are working), boost, timing advance, knock retard, intake 1 & 2 temps.

I've heard all kinda of great things about these gauges, and I checked out the page, but there isn't a price. How much do these things run?
