Nifty. I wonder how close it is to the aeroforce gauge. This one is a few bucks cheaper and more geeky looking, which is a good thing for some people. :P

too bad it doesn't do KR, it'* cheaper than the Aeroforce and will do data logging to a pc.

At best I think it only does the standard OBD2 stuff, no GM specific... bummer.

Will this create an issue with the VATS system though?
The PCM doesn't like being scanned or read all the time type thing...i remember..The Aeroforce kit, there is something special for the Bonneville..is there not?
