I have the autometers, but I have the sportcomps. I wish I got the cobalts. I think they would have matched better.

Jared91 · 02-28-2014, 09:42 PM

Man they look great !! Can't decide between those or the Aem anolog gauges.

D3R3K · 02-28-2014, 09:56 PM

I have a set on the way. Can't wait.

Highland Ranger · 03-01-2014, 12:02 AM

any plumbing with these or do they just plug in somewhere?

Nice gauge set there.

I think I'm gonna go with the Cobalt aswell for mine.But the digital AFR.I know the digital one I can data log.I'll have to check if the anolog can data log.If so,I might go that way instead.

I had the performance shop I use install these but they do not just plug in. It took about 4 hours to install.

I have the Cobalt fuel pressure and boost on the Pillar pod.
I am adding the Cobalt analog wideband in the SLP steering wheel pod.
Will post up some pics when done.
I have had digital wideband gauges in the past and I am not a fan of how the numbers are constantly changing. Rather distracting especially at night.
And yes there is an output for data logging on the analog version of the Cobalt.

The ones I got just plug right up and can display anything the OBDII port puts out. Displays and clears codes and a lot more.

A little pricey but Aeroforce is the Cadillac of guages...

Those are nice. Any perm modification to car or is it just swapping out the trim piece?

It's a pretty PnP install. They plug into OBDII to read every thing so install takes just a few minutes. To read A/F you have to buy an additional wideband sensor (for an SS, not sure about ZL1), and to read boost you need a 3 Bar MAP sensor (ZL1 might already have one, again not sure). Just got mine in the mail yesterday and am looking forward to using them. Each gauge can display two parameters at a time. Bought mine from Maryland Speed since they offer free shipping and can bundle an a-pillar pod to hold them.

Just pop out/in the A-pillar and it just plugs right into your OBDII

Here's a DIY Thread.

Thanks RankSS.
I wasn't sure if the analog version had a 0-5 volt output.I guess it does.
