Default Gauges for Supercharged trucks?

I am running dash command on my phone or ipad monitoring boost pressure, trans temp, oil temp, and cooling temp. The app seems to work great but I am really wishing it would capture fuel rail pressure and air fuel ratio. I may be able to add these but I would need to add a wideband, a pressure sensor and a reader to talk to the system.

What other gauges are you guys running?

Supercharged trucks usually run 3 major ones. Wideband afr, fuel pressure and boost.

If there isnt a sensor to measure it, you need to add one. At least a wideband sensor, but you will have to see if the controller can talk to your ipad. If you have a 2015+ then I think there is already a sensor for the high pressure rail.

You would need to install extra physical sensors then.

If your truck has CAN for sensor communication, you can get an Aeroforce Scan guage. It can read whatever sensor information that is on the CAN bus. I have a 2007 NNBS Silverado and you can read fuel pressure since there is a fuel pressure sensor on the feed line. Also can get dtcs, clear dtcs, look at fuel trims, etc...

I have a $379 Innova Can Bus scanner and it doesn't see the fuel rail pressure... I would also love to see injector duty cycle.

That's interesting. Aeroforce has a list of parameters on their site that it can read. I see fuel pressure and I can see injector duty cycle.

I only have 2 gauges.

AFR and Fuel Pressure.

I had to use a sensor to see FP but it's not logged in HPT.
