    I had initially seen the aeroforce gauge and was very highly debating on purchasing that, but i just wasn't quite committed to installing a pillar cluster or the HUD pod yet.

    That being said, when i do decide to go that path, i more than likely will decide to get one.

    anyways for reference the scangauge in addition to being an obdII scanner also servers as a trip computer computing:
    » Maximum Speed
    » Average Speed
    » Maximum Coolant Temperature
    » Maximum RPM
    » Driving Time
    » Driving Distance
    » Fuel Used
    » Trip Fuel Economy
    » Distance to Empty
    » Time to Empty
    » Fuel to Empty

    as well as gauge readings of:
    » Fuel Economy
    » Fuel Rate
    » Battery Voltage
    » Coolant Temperature
    » Intake Air Temperature
    » Engine Speed (RPM)
    » Vehicle speed (MPH and KM/H)
    » Manifold Pressure
    » Engine Load
    » Throttle Position
    » Ignition Timing
    » Open/Closed Loop

    i have only added a few of the xgauges (you enter a few codes in one of the options menus to enable said gauge) but thus far the following can be added:
    » Horsepower
    » Short and Long Term Fuel Trim (4 banks each) <- ?? no clue
    » O2 sensor values
    » Elapsed Time Since Engine Start
    » Knock Retard
    » Barometer V6
    » Barometer V8
    » A/F Ratio
    » Remaining Oil Life
    » Engine Torque
    » Trans Fluid Temperature

    I'm pretty sure there are others not necessarily listed, but mostly to due with the trip computer (ie: cost per mile gauge)

    all basically taken from scangauge.com

    The one I played with must not have been the "Xgauge" version. Oh well, like I said to each his own. I've always felt that the "blockiness" of it makes it stand out like it doesn't belong. It has its uses, but I still feel it to be more limiting than the Aeroforce.

    Just my opinion, though.

    Engine TQ numbers were mentioned relating to the ScanGauge readout. Someone said their TQ numbers read 500 and that it couldn't possibly be right. In the tuners some of the tables edit based on TQ. Notice that the TQ tables run up to 640 lb ft. It is quite surprising that adjusting the pressure table between 440 and 640 firms up shifting on a stock car. Im not sure how the PCM determines this but it's not the same numbers a dyno will give.
