Those look great, I love my Zeitronix gauges for this same reason. I can cycle through any sensor I have on the gauge with the press of a button and it always shows AFR's on the outside ring.

Looks very nice on the V, but I still like the dashdaq better.

I have used is long enough now that at a quick glance I have:

AFR (Bother Sides)
Boost
IAT
Timing
Knock

That's really all I look at when driving.. Main display also has Coolant temp, RPM, TPS.. but that really is not used when driving.

Secondary diplays I use show: LTFT, STFT, O2 Voltage Graph, AFR graph... it goes on and on.

For an integrated POD or dash mounted gauge, this looks nice. I just like to see more.

You are right the dashdaq is good, but it's not in the 200$ range

Bramage - I have been looking for knock in OBD2 output but did not see it as an data feed . All my other cars I am able to log (with Zeitronix and Innovate OBD2s) knock sum. Please let me know which field you are selecting or if there is a trick (like an analog knock sensor input to the ZT2). Thanks

It looks like the aero gauge is ~$240 + wide band O2 sensor ~$190....

IMHO, it is better to get an great OBD2 datalogger + wideband and then add whichever gauges you like....

I am running a Phormula KS-4 which sits where the ashtray used to be (Under the tilt up door). I ran the 0-5V to my Analog input for the ZT-3 and display via the bar graph you see on the bottom of my dashdaq. When drag racing, tuning, or data-logging, I will keep an eye on the KS-4, the rest of the time I just watch for any errant spikes on the dashdaq.

Oh yeah? Thanks.

Aeroforce has enhanced support thus has many more supported parameters, updates much faster, made with better materials instead of all plastic, numerous optional bezels and faces to allow customization, recessed display to give it some depth rather than flush against the lens making it look cheap.

Aeroforce has been making these for other vehicles for years and from my exp on the ford side and with dodge customers they were very happy with the gauge and the thought that goes into making them.
