Got new gauges installed...

Installed my new Aeroforce Interceptor gauge, along with my AutoMeter analog boost gauge in my DDM Works dual gauge pod today.
This Interceptor gauge is awesome!
It can pull codes, display just most parameters, calculate HP, 1/8th & 1/4mile performance. It can rotate through 4, dual display screens, or just simply display any 2 parameters. And, has programmable warning lights (I use mine as shift lights).
Can perform the CASE relearn if ECM is swapped, and much more...(I'm still learning this cool little device).

Why didn't you go digital with both gauges?

Very nice look...love the black faces on them. It's different with one being a full sweep and one being digital. Kinda cool.

Very nice! Does anyone make a single gauge pillar mount? How difficult is to connect the Boost gauge. Thanks!

Where you got the gauges? Did you install it yourself?

Got the AutoMeter Boost gauge at Summit Racing.
Not hard at all to hook up.
The biggest pain in the butt was running the tubing, but, still was not hard to do.

As far as why did I go analog?
I'm old school (I had a Grand National for 12 years, with a VDO boost gauge in the pillar), I also like boost only, the needle moves only when in boost, it also keeps the resolution better, plus I don't care how much vacuum the motor is pulling.
It's a glance at it thing, it's easier to get quick reference where a needle is pointing.

Obviously, the analog gauge has better visibility in all lighting situations. The digital gauge has backlit LCD display, if the sun is shining on the gauge, the LCD has good contrast. The only time I have difficulty reading it, top down, sunlight coming in certain angles creates a glare on the glass brighter than the display can overcome. But, I can still see through it, it's just a little more difficult during those times.
But, with all the functions that little gauge can perform, it's definately worth it!
I got the CN series Interceptor gauge at: Interceptor OBD2 data stream gauge and scan tool by Aeroforce Technology

Tell me about the '78 T/A. I had a '78 Formula with WS6 and loved it even though it was one of the ones that was probably rusting on the lot in '77! Nice handling car and the cockpit was one of the best for driving I've ever been in; my hands just fell on the controls; almost as perfectly as in my Sol GXP

There are several startup screens to choose from in the setup menu...

I just ordered my A-pillar from dave and I'm getting the dual aeroforce gauges, great product, not cheap but worth it.... Your gauges look awesome... can't wait for mine to be installed... Little secret revealed, my aeroforce gauges will have a mean yellow face, if I get them done with yellow I will post them and tell how it was done.
