im saying, most widebands cost more then a interceptor..and a interceptor reads A/F ratios in the ss/tc...so...explain to me why get the wideband?

Not really. Its functionality negates any ugliness.

Interceptor. Or some type of scan gauge. I don't know if the Interceptor scan gauge works with the TC, but I would imagine it would.

You don't need a narrowband. The LNF comes from factory with a wideband.

I am running 2 interceptors for my TC. They are great and I would recommend them for an all around gauge

I have Dashdaq which does pretty much everything I want it to do, but I'd still like to eventually get a 3 gauge a pillar just because I like the looks and I really like gauges. On my Dashdaq I usually display Engine Coolant Temp, Inlet Air Temp 1 and 2, and AFR.

We have factory widebands... you just need a gauge to read it...

I only have factory boost... but will soon have an interceptor which on this car is about all I need besides an EGT

Im running a dashdaq too, best thing about it is that it can show your readings from the last 30secs-5min on a graph. No need to look at your gauges when you're doing a pull, all the useful data is saved on the screen.

Besides the RPD I have a scangauge II hooked up that I had in my other car, between the two I have it covered, except being fairly old school I don't know what half it it means like as far as what's good and what's bad.

One thing I did notice with the Scangauge though is the load on the car when you take your foot off the gas it will drop to about 26 vs the old car would be between 40-46 thanks DI it does work, and if you put the car in neutral to coast the number will go up.

As far as the MAP I don't know what that's reading. In fact is there a good website or book you guys recommend that I can read up on to find out about all these sensors what what they do?

Ive got an EGT.

I dont understand the fascination with the hideous 3gauge pillar setups......

Id go for a PLX OBD gauge, and an EGT probe,to fill up your hole.

DashDaq has its perks though...the up to five minutes of datalogging makes me happy in my pants.

No mo carrying my laptop around...and I can log 24/7

PLX can do it without looking like a GPS too I know...but thats the catch 22 of it...it is large enough to read, but kinda large and in charge...:shifty:...put that bitch in between my head unit and air bag sensor display nonsense

Ya what was gm thinking, in the 1750rpm cell it calls for -1 degree of timing.
But the 1337 cat temps make up for it
