Craig,
Is there any kind of trade-in program for the Aeroforces? I purchased my ECM/Tranny pair a couple of months ago and honestly, the ONLY thing I find the trans gauge good for is trans temp. I think I'd much rather have 2 ECM gauges. Have you heard of Aeroforce offering a reflash of the tranny gauge to ECM for a small fee? I'd be willing to pay, since it was my mistake not getting 2 ECM units the first time.
In any case, I can't recommend these gauges enough. I've been using them for years in my other rides.

Main reason: If you add additional sensors such as a wideband, any temp sensor, NOS pressure, etc, you will want to connect it to this gauge. It updates much faster than the ECM gauge so your A/F readings for example will be instantaneous and updating 15x second. I have my trans gauge monitoring and recording rpm and A/F ratio when I run at the track or want to check the tune.
The torque parameter is valuable for tuning as well, as there are torque limits that need to be raised once you get up in hp
If you're manually shifting gears you can use the trans gauge as a shift light by monitoring rpm
You can't run 2 ecm gauges, the ISO protocol that the ecm uses doesn't allow for it. This is a vehicle limitation, not a gauge limitation. If you ran 2 ecm gauges the car would not know which gauge sent the request, and the gauges wouldn't know which response belonged to it. You'd get a lot of garbage information displayed. The CAN messages have identifiers.
If you add a higher stall converter you can monitor the stall speed.
I could go on and on, a lot of what I said may not be needed daily but it's nice to have the info or option when needed.

If that is Todd Austinson, you tell him Josh Branch with the infamous Green/Gray Typhoon known as the Turbo Cucumber says hi. I dealt with him wayyyy back in 1997 and even bought a narrowband 02 gauge off of him. I had to page him on his Skytel pager LOL. Talk about back in the day. Such a small fricking World man!
EDIT:
LOL, I see this is Todd! Hahaha how's it going man?
OK, I assume the CAN bus is just a lot different, as I ran Dual Aeroforces (ECM versions) in both my Lightning and my G8 GT, which is why I asked. No worries at all, and thanks for the quick update! Have owned 6 Interceptors so far, and they've all worked great! Keep up the good work!

The ISO protocol began being phased out in the mid 2000's and was gone by 2008.

You cant just add one of these to spilt the ECM signal to 2 gauges?
Was thinking of doing the same thing only instead of swapping the TCM, I wanted to add a second ECM.

The Aeroforce shows boost out of the box. Not sure what exactly you're asking?
