dashhawk is easier to use and displayes more info at once, but the interceptor fits into a gauge pod....

full sweep electric for individual gauges...but these are SOOOO much better for reading things standard gauges cant or would take WAY to many to read

to each his own, im also a diesel guy more people use mechanical gauges then electronic. unless they have efi live or juiced with edge. but mechanical gauges are very reliable gauges, the ones that tell you you have codes are nice but you still need to fix them, and codes are just an aid you cant fully diagnose anything from them

Aeroforce Interceptor FTW
I'm sure the dashawk is good only I'm not a fan of the square box on my dash.

Where do you have yours mounted? Pics? I've been wondering how to do it so that it looks good, otherwise Interceptor for me too.

i'd get the dashhawk b/c it can display more parameters than just 2, and it can easily be mounted over the steering bezel to make for easy view w/out it being in the way, im not a fan of thei nterceptor bc they put some gay flag on it, not everyone wants a big logo on their gauges...i prefer dash hawk for its clean appearance and can be mounted anywhere with just the acceossiries that comes with it, no need to go buy a third party gauge pod

Id go Dashhawk without a doubt. The Interceptor is fairly hideous, display is really small, the two little buttons suck, it can only display 2 PIDs at once. You have to order the color screen you want, out of a limited selection and cant change it.

The Dashawk display much more info, in an easier to read fashion, screen is much larger, its easier to navigate to different functions, you can set the screen to damn near any color you want.its got audible and visual alarms, you can datalog with it, you can make your own startup screen artwork, it can turn your fans on/off and it can reset fuel trims without clearing all your I/M flags(neat diagnostic stuff...not necessarily something youd use, LOL)


If you or any of your friends are any kind of fabrication skilled you could easily make a mount for the DH on the column, near/in a vent or on the pillar like the SS/TC's RPD is.

there are two downsides to the Dashhawk...its square so it cant fit in any gauge pod & the support for the Dashhawk at this point is pretty much non-existant. I believe MSD is planning to release a newer Dashhawk-like display device but with more modern features.
