So i come home from work and had 3 packages on the front porch. My Aeroforce interceptor came in from Intense, my cathodes and LED'* came in from Oznium, and Most importantly the supercharger tensioner pulley bolt came from BillBoost37. I have a paper to write tonight so unfortunately i only got the interceptor gauge installed but i have a busy weekend ahead of me.
For the gauge i actually decided to go with the vents on the right side of the wheel since i already have 5 other vents on that side of the car, i could afford to lose one. My other reasoning for this was that i pretty much always steer with my left hand. I'm not sure if i've ever seen anyone on here use these vents, but the Pics from PDads install were still a huge help in guiding me through the process.

It also looks like they've changed the design on the front of the gauge from the old design with the checkered flags, i like this design a bit more.

Many thanks to BillBoost37 for saving the day by having an extra tensioner bolt laying around.

For my lighting project im planning on putting a set of 4" cathodes under each of the front seats facing forward and a set of 12" cathodes under each of the front seats facing backwards. These will join the 2 sets of 4" kits that i have under the dash right now. I got a relay so that they will come on when the normal lights would come on anyways and plan on installing a switch to over ride them when necessary. My other project is to replace the overhead lights with 3 white LEDS in each socket and im going to use plexiglass and the chrome LED mounts to make it a cleaner install.

Kind of a worthless topic right now besides the aeroforce install but i'll be updating over the course of the week with my progress.

So far i like it alot. I'm really more relieved to have my supercharger hooked up again after nearly two weeks without it. I usually drive with my left hand and when i thought about it, it was easier for me to glance over there then it was for me to look over my arm to the left. I was suprised how easily the plastic sanded/melted away with the sanding drum on the dremel.

The gauge indeed has the added features mentioned above. It was late and i was bored so i went out and tested the performance mode twice on some back roads. got a reading of 15.38 @ 94mph with a 7.39 second 0-60. I'm not sure if these are good numbers and i really have no idea how to properly launch a car for lower times but it'* a nice feature regardless.
I'm not sure how well the timer works....I thought I didn't get any wheelspin (which would affect your times to looks faster) and it said I ran a mid 7 0-60 and mid/low 15 sec 1/4 mile. I thought the road was flat too, but I just don't see my car being THAT fast as of right now. We need someone to take it to a track, to get no wheelspin and compare.
