OK, got the guage and installed it with relative ease. Thanks to all who provided insight and advice!!
I will post some pictures soon for others considering this mod.
Question for the group - other than the boost reading, what other variables do you find handy to display?
I have also set the lights to come on at +20lbs. Any other ideas on what works best?

I use the MPH a lot since the speedo is crappy in the SS. I often find I am over the limit and do not notice. I also am used to HUD displays so this is kind of my add on display.
The shift light is handy for many. Also THe other readings are good for if you are tunning or making changes to the vehicle.
The 1/4 mile and 0-60 feature also is nice. While it may very a little from the track time it will give you base lines for changes.

^^ I will stick with Boost and HP for now. I would probably use MPH but being Canadian, well....
I have also posted some pictures of the install for anyone who may need them.

A few weeks with the gauge and I'm very happy with hit. Its a perfect mod for those of you who like to know what's going on with your SS. Tons of info.
I was also able to clear a few codes with it, which is also pretty cool.

A question for you guys who have done the install (know the product) - I'm guessing that the port the unit plugs into is the same port the existing Boast gauges uses?
But on the chance that this assumption is incorrect, if a person could physically accommodate two ADDITIONAL gauges could you connect two Aeroforce units and keep the original boast gauge? If not, can you connect just one Aeroforce and also keep the original boast gauge?
