Boost Gauge

I just traded my 1LE in on a ZL1. I've been doing some searching, and haven't come up with a good answer. What are y'all doing to measure boost, or what type of gauge are y'all using? I'm sure it's not the factory gauge by the shifter. Thanks in advance.

I want to say I recently looked at a guys build on a white ZL1 from FL and he has some really nice gauges he placed on his pillar, I want to say the gauges even had ZL1 on them as well. I will see if I can find the page or a link.

Cool. Thanks. I saw some people using dash logic, to track timing and other stuff. Does that measure boost also?

Here is the company I believe and also a link to the forum with one that has the ZL1 writing on it. Hope this helps. http://www.aeroforcetech.com/

Scroll down to the last post of this page and you will see the ZL1 Gauge.

Not to sure about dash logic, but I'm sure more people will chime in soon.

This is what you are looking for

You can use dashlogic or these gauges to see what you want to see. With dashlogic you can see it in the HUD, DIC, or on the Mylink display. It is a very cool device with plug and play installation for basic stuff. You will need a computer to get control the parameters that you want to see. There is too much to go over with this device.

Just depends on the look you are going for. I was going to go with the gauges but then decided on dash logic for the HUD control and mylink info control.

If you get the gauges Dynosteve is great to work with.

And by the way Both use the OBDII port. Dashlogic will run about 279.00 and the gauges about 399 plus 90 for the A pillar pod to hold them.

I ordered dashlogic yesterday I would youtube it or google it if I were you.

Doesn't the ZL1 have a boost gauge on the gauge cluster by the shifter?

Yes but its not easy to read and not possible while driving and keeping your eyes on the road.

Boost is just for your info. Cool to know but it either works or it doesn't.

So dash logic does measure boost? That's pretty cool. I don't understand how, but that's a neat feature. Sorry. Lol. I'm just used to 4th gen Procharged cars with line fed boost gauges.

I believe it gets it from the MAP sensor inputs.

You can also control your NPP exhaust with it using your cruise control button

DashLogic

DashLogic is the most advanced way of displaying vehicle data to date. There is nothing to install, no programing, no changes to your vehicle in any way. Simply plug in the DashLogic device to your vehicles OBD-II port and DashLogic turns your factory dashboard display into a fully customizable gauge canvas. See all of the data your vehicle has to offer on your Driver Information Center, Head-Up Display, or Radio. DashLogic doesn't stop there, you can also customize visual and audible alerts that you set to any condition for any vehicle value, fully customizable by you. Just in case your car doesn't have a sensor for a value you would like to watch, DashLogic also has two auxiliary inputs so you can add up to two aftermarket sensors to be viewed on your DIC, HUD, or Radio as well as be used for alerts. The DashLogic alerts system is a very advanced tool, this is not your run of the mill type of simple alert that only watches one value. DashLogic will take into account several conditions for one alert, all of those conditions fully customizable by you. DashLogic also tests your performance, use DashLogic to get your calculated HP & TQ, 0-60 time as well as your 1/8th mile, 1/4 mile, 1/2 mile, and standing 1 mile times recorded with a trap speed.

The firmware inside the DashLogic unit is upgradeable, which means you can enjoy the latest features by downloading a free update.

So it comes down to looks mostly...do you want the dual gauge a pillar look (cool)

or do you want the HUD and DIC and Radio Face to show it?

From what I understand you can't have both. IF you plug both into your OBD port it may cause misreadings on the devices.

Just what I have heard. Maybe someone who has tried it can chime in?
