Dual Aeroforce Gauges or ? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I really like the Aeroforce gauges and have been thinking for awhile now about putting 2 in my SS, but I was wondering if maybe I just get 1 and install either a boost or wideband gauge to go with it?
I like having stuff that matches, and I know there is a wideband sensor for the Aeroforce gauge.

I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Also, anyone have a triple gauge pillar yet? 2 is probably plenty for me, but I might get a meth system down the line, probably next year if anything.

That? Thats pretty cool, but I don't think it will end up being as clean of a install as a pod.

wanna bet .....its cleaner....... and pure stealth......... send me a pm....

I went with an aeroforce and a glowshift boost guage.
Happy with both.

I don't exactly get your question, are you asking if you can install a Aeroforce gauge and also install separate non Aeroforce wideband or boost gauge?

BATMANs · 06-21-2011, 10:28 AM

I have the PLX gauges (they are just minutes from my work).

Love them to death.

Here's a video of what it looks like in action.

Sorry about the music and video quality (first time doing this from my HTC EVO - not knowing what to expect).

Basically i'm wondering if I should do 2 Aeroforce gauges, or if it makes more sense to do 1 and something else like a Wideband or Boost gauge.

I say do two because you can hookup a wideband to the aeroforce if you wanted to. Ill be going this way when funds become available.

hmmmm, interesting. I'm trying to make this decision tonight so I can order up tomorrow. I am partial to have the boost as a dial and not digital. But if these things work like it seems they do I'm leaning to doing two aeroforce and call it a day now, especially as plug and play as they are.

nitto85 · 06-21-2011, 07:16 PM

Can anyone comment on how accurate the boost and wideband readings are from the Aeroforce?
Seems like some top notch gauges, I honestly don't know much about gauges.

FRKNlo · 06-21-2011, 07:31 PM

I would think the accuracy of the boost and wideband would depend on which map sending units and wideband sensors youre using and if the 0-5v inputs were setup correctly.

I recently installed a dual set of Aeroforce gauges in a gauge pod on the center dash of my G8. I also have the Aeroforce fuel pressure gauge and boost gauge, both running on 1 of the Aeroforce gauges, and on the other I have my NGK wideband hooked up to it. I also have a DashHawk in my cubby that I monitor other things from the OBD. The Aeroforce gauges monitor off the OBD as well, but I can do 2-7 things per screen, with multiple screens on the DashHawk, so I have many things available on it, and use the Aeroforce gauges soley for fuel/boost/afr.

The only thing I don't really like about the Aeroforce, they can be hard to read in the daytime with the sun on the gauges.

when we sell the aeroforce gauges we normally sell them in a set and sell the boost and AFR separate. that way you have only two gauges and they display everything you need.
in cars where we do triple we do two aeroforce gauges and a PLX wideband. this way the WB doesnt take up one slot on he AF screen. If you get the aeroforce you will not be disappointed!
