Default Aeroforce interceptor feedback

Hey guys.

I've een mauling around the idea of aeroforce gauges for my supercharger and cam install. I'm curious for some feedback from those of you running it.

Are you using it as much as you expected?
Any issues you've had?

Just some general feedback would be great before I pull the trigger

I don't have one. I have the Diablo Trinity. The Aeroforce is nice and is PnP through the OBDII port. However the wide band add-on is expensive. Even with all of that, at the end of the day all you have is a monitor and wide band. The problem is you will still need a tuner and programmer like the Diablo Predator.

I love mine. I use it quite regularly to monitor KR, trans Temp, coolant temp, rpm and A/F. The wideband is expensive, yet cheaper at the same time and saves a bit of room when you add everything it will do up. The kit itself is around $180 for the wideband add on, but compare it to other wideband kits and its about the same if not a little cheaper. Thats where people get kinda hung up on, the price of the add ons, but if you were to take a gauge for monitoring KR, trans temp, coolant temp and a/f you'll be looking close to the same price of the AI gauge and the wideband kit. It will also monitor boost applications though I have not had a reason to mess with that part.

Aeroforce (new) - $250
Wideband (new) - $180
Diablo Predator (used) - $275
-------------------
total - $705

Diablo Trinity (used) - $400
Innovate LC-1 wide band (new) - $150
------------------
total - $550

Now Im not trying to talk you out of anything because the Aeroforce is a very nice device. But IDK what your budget is or how many devices you want to have to do the same thing(s).

That is true weed, however, if you already have the tuner then that $275 is out of the equation already. I will agree that if you need a tuner then the trinity is absolutely the way to go.

Now you guys got me thinking. I'll have to do the research. I like the idea of gauges cause it's clean, plain and kinda oldschool looking.

I like the Programmer route because I am needing a new one for tuning either way but then I gotta still throw in a boost gauge and wideband gauge anyways.

I know that the shop thats doing my tuning is top notch but I always wanna have an eye in case I get some **** fuel or whatever that might damage the truck.
