Which gauge do you think will look better?

Do you know if the LC 1 uses a Bosch 4.2 or 4.9 sensor?

Not really, the 4.9 is supposed to be a little more accurate have a longer lifespan than the 4.2.

Well, if it works I was planning on making a mount for the tuner and keeping both the tuner and the gauge running at the same time for data logging purposes. Such as recording 0-60 times with the tuner while monitoring the readings on the gauge. Also, my thought was, since I have this expensive tuner I might as well try to use it the most I can so while driving, the tuner would normally be setup to display 4 parameters running constantly while the interceptor would then flash back and forth between 8 different parameters. I figured that as long as the two didnt try and monitor the same 12 parameters, the CAN bus would work fine but I really don't know. Guess I may just have to try it and find out.

Oh and there may be another problem. I can't find a sleep mode to enable in the superchips so from what I noticed, the superchips won't turn off after I shut down the truck. Is the gauge the same way or will it turn off after a certain amount of time?

From the videos I've seen of the gauge in action it doesn't look like it turns on until the key is on. I can't imagine the gauge would be on in any other situation. As far as the SC, I don't believe there is a sleep mode. Plus, the AI can monitor everything the SC can as well as do the timed runs according to the info on their site.

Yea, well, if I can't find a way to get the superchips to turn off while being plugged in I'm not gunna bother. Until I get some good tint on the fronts, I don't want anything glowing in my truck while its parked LOL

You could always unplug it when you get out of the truck, but that seems like it would be a pain to plug it in and then unplug it every time you use your truck.
