TP= Use the DK GRN or PPL wire at the throttle body connector(there are dual sensors)
Tach= Tap into one of the injectors. Use the wire that is not pink. Pink is common +ve battery voltage. Each injector has a different colour wire from the PCM. That is the one to tap.

You will have to calibrate these in the WBC software. There is a multiplier setting for the tach. I still have to check my TP readings with my scan tool and plug them into the table in the software. Played with the boost a little but haven't got that quite right yet. I have it connected to the Map sensor that came with my Autometer boost gauge.

the pillar pod i got is from auto meter and it's a dead on match.

i saw on the intercepter web page that they have the gauges sold singleand in pairs....whats the point of two? just so you can keep each one on different things or do they do difderent things?

Autometer makes the gauge for Dynojet, the black one it the Sport comp series (I believe) and the white face is the Phantom series.

They are multiple function guages so you can have each set to display different information. The Interceptor appears to be a first rate information retreival system. More study is required before I buy guages. It's a much more complicated thing than I had ever imagined.

Right now it looks lilke the best information would be gathered by having the Dynojet WBC and two Interceptors. Or maybe that's all unnecessary. I need to check out the Hypertech HyperPac computer which I just saw advertised in Chevy High Performance.
