Wink digital gauges?

Is there anything cheaper than 2-3 hundred dollars that I can plug in to my truck to get all the info that you guys get with you tuners? (digital gauges, air temp, hp etc). I would be willing to pay this for a tuner if they ever make one for the 3.7. In the meantime, I would like to know my HP etc. Even something as far as a cable and laptop software would be cool. It costs $85 locally for 3 dyno runs.

Default Scanguage II

Do you guys think this would work as far as telling me new HP after doing a mod? I think this would work for the track as far as telling me my HP and everthing, though I may call them just to be sure.

Default Opinions? anyone else?

Anyone else have any input on this device? I spoke to there support today, and he said it would record HP in trip mode. Im not sure he got what I was after though. I am wanting to know my full HP, not how much I am pulling at the time. At least I can get it at autozone, and return if it doesnt do what I want.

Truckin151 tried the Aeroforce gauge and was happy with it. I want to get one but I keep finding other things I want, lol.

No doubt, multi gauges are cool. Like Eric said, if you are planning on tuning you will need a wideband A/F sensor and gauge.

Talking WOW! Check this out!

I think im gonna get this. Looks like what I am looking for. Anyone into racing or just wanting to know what is causing an engine fault may be interested. In a nut shell - obdII scan tool and dyno! BTW, any opinions? Do you think its worth it? I have a 3.7L (no tuner yet) so I dont have acess to the data you tuner guys have.

I've got the scangage II, it was designed mainly for fuel economy. I'm pretty happy with it. It can display 4 items, pretty much anything the ECM sees. I wouldn't reccomend it for performance use though.
