That would be a good choice IMO

My opinion is that you need a fuel pressure gauge, boost gauge, wide band gauge, and Interceptor gauge if you want to cover everything.

For FI, definately I couldn't agree more. A couple extra gauges and a little time hooking them up is better than buying a new motor in case you lose fuel pressure or something.

I have a aeroforce interceptor and a boost and fuel pressure gauge. I was under the impression that the wide band was more for tuning. which Don temporarily installs. If I get a wide band I was looking at getting a MSD Dashhawk in tandem with my interceptor so I could monitor a bunch of parameters at once. I know it doesn't matter.. but I'd just like to see them all.

Also on a side note.. Tossed the my first belt only one day after getting it tunned.... Luckily it didn't break the tensioner or the belt so I was able to toss it back on...I might need that new upgraded balancer

Yes you definately need the wideband for tuning but if you have forced induction it's a very good idea to have the wideband and a gauge hooked up permanently, it's a nice security blanket so you always know where your afr is at so your engine won't go if you go lean and don't realize it.

I think my next go fast round will be smaller pulley, meth, SD tune, wideband, and the upgraded tensioner.. but for now I gotta address the fact that 6000lbs gets moving quiet quickly.. and does not slow back down for crap

Also if I go lean can't I just watch the o2 volts? If it goes that lean I would think it would show up even under the poor resolution of the narrow band? I really should jsut bite the bullet with all the money i spent whats a couple more hundred bucks.....

Tossed the belt again!!!!!! thats two days and two belts... either i misaligned something.... or I really need that upgraded tensioner... I don't think I can even get a shorter belt on either
