    I bought both, and sold both. What I like the most about the scangauge II with X-gauge is that since I have an Impala, I don't have to deal with the 3 pod gauge cluster which IMO looks out of place, like, well, we all know what the huge winged slow disposable cars look like. Oh yeah the price was about $90 less than the Aeroforce, and only needs connection to the OBDII port, no other power access needed. This gauge is also very handy for throwing in quickly for a quick monitoring.

    The Aeroforce can scan more total parameters, has the additional input/outputs (connector your scanner, other sensors, WB etc.

    Really two somewhat similar things you may buy for different reasons. IMO there is no right or wrong, it's a matter of what meets your needs.

    My HPTuners is all I need.

    I have read that the scangauge had issues with KR readings, the MOST important reading IMO. Most sounded VERY inaccurate- so why get it??

    they were accurate, however, the decimal point was missing ie 11 was actually 1.1, as I understand it. We can certainly prove this since I have an HPTuners.

    just as an update for everyone, took a couple daytime pictures and captured a bit of a movie (i tell you its tough to get the camera to stay still and stick to the dash after you've trim shined the hell out of it)

    note: my gtp is weird... if i keep it in first gear it will auto shift into second, but in second it wont auto into third, so in the movie the KR goes way high because it hits the rpm limiter (or so im telling myself)

    at idle:


    light throttle:


    and the movie: only need to watch the first 30 seconds or so, unless you want to cruise around with me and listen to me curse at some suv.

    I can't argue with the price, but it offers more in a smaller package. As for the power, mine simply plugs in to the OBD2 port and works.
