Help on Interceptor

I just installed my interceptor gauge and it works great. my question is about the analog wires that are on either side of the power wire did anyone hook them up to anything or are they not important.

2nd what is the most important things to monitor with this and please give me a description of what it monitors and Why its important to monitor. I'm still working on figuring out what all the things on it mean.

also have a question about the wideband i 'm planning on installing one soon. where in the firewall is the easiest to run the wires. any help i can get is appriciated the wideband looks harder to install than the Interceptor was.

The analog wire are only used if you want to hook up a wibeband or something else to them. They don't need to be hooked up otherwise.

The main things I watch on mine are Manifold PSI and Knock Retard. The Manifold PSI just a Boost Guage and the Knock Retard tells you if your engine is experiencing knock, therefore retarding the timing to prevent bad **** from happening, haha.

there is a grommet just below the steering shaft where you can run the WB wiring, and I would monitor knock for sure and maybe IAT2 for the second option unless you took your stock boost gauge out.

thanks for the tip on the Wideband wiring! Knock should stay at 0.0 correct!
