Sounds like a winner to me. I guess its worth the money considering all the parameters that you can track. How involved is the install?

the aeroforce gauge simply plugs into the obd2 port under the dash. there's no other wires to run.

It will display a gazillion things and it reads and clears trouble codes just like a tuner. Did I mention it records 0-60 and 1/4 mile times?

Is it accurate? If its not directly connected somehow how does it know the intake temp and coolant temp?

As far as accuracy, I cant say I have hooked up 60 gauges and senders to check it but it is however accurate the information is that is going into the ECM. Ford put sensors on hundreds of things to work with the new electronics on the car. This gauge taps into the ECM through the OBD 2 port and reports what the computer see's.

Basically you can read anything the computer tracks.

I personally like to see the IAT after the blower and teh coolant temp, so I know when its warmed up and I can punch it. Eventually I will set up some of the more advanced features.

After my new clutch and tires (next year) I will take the car to the track and run the gauge (Performance numbers, 0-60, 1/8miles, 1/4 miles) against the lights to see how close it is. In the mean time the numbers are just for fun.
