Most important items to read on gauges.

I just recently purchased a set of Aeroforce dual gauges.

What is everyone reading (most important) on there gauges?

IAT2
Boost
trans temp
etc...

I am changing my Ngauge around a lot. I like to keep an eye on fuel pressure, oil pressure alcohol content, IAT2, knock etc.

IMO, IATs and AFR. Tells you if it's making power and tells you if it's running good/about to blow.

IAT, Oil Pressure, Fuel Pressure, Coolant temp.......The gauge will scan through those easily.

You can set the lights that go across the top as Knock. Those lights are always set as that on mine.

I have the DSX system so I like to see my boost and FP to make sure that my pump is turning on. The thing that I like about the Ngauge is that it has a a couple screens and one of them is a 6pack gauge. I am not sure why people hate on the ngauge because that thing does everything and it works...

I consistently run IAT2, IAT, e85%, FP, Boost, and Oil temp with the knock across the lights. I have the zietronix hacker mod frenched into the small piece of plastic above the steering wheel and below the DIC. Sometimes it is a lot to pay attention to but a new motor is a lot of money haha.

On my Aeroforce gauges I too monitor KR with the warning light (set for 2.5 deg knock)and usually display IAT2 and AFR. I sometimes will use cyclic scan to automatically rotate trans temp/coolant/and oil temp on the bottom display. When drag racing I will sometimes use the scrolling graph to watch KR vs RPM then pause the graph at the end of the track to see if and where I may be getting excessive knock. I don't use the 8 parameter display that often unless I'm trouble shooting something.

On my Aeroforce, I constantly monitor IAT2 & Injector Duty %, and have warning lights set for KR.

I do cycle through some other parameters such as misfires, timing advance, and fuel trims.
