if i were to get a power tuner, i wouldnt need the aeroforce gauge, right?

also, I alway browse the vendor websites and they have been out of the black and red ones CONSTANTLY, i dont want to drop 230 dollars and not get it for a year.
any of you guys order one out of stock and actually get it within a month?

The aeroforce gauge is nice because it looks clean, and sits clearly visibile in your car.

The tuning software does everything to gauge does (and more), but you need to have a laptop hooked up to your ODBII port, and it would be harder to read the parameters while driving.

Overall, I'd recommend the tuner, but the gauge is easier to use.

YAh you would cluster up your car with the tuner. If you have the gauge, you can periodically check your parameters, and then hook up the tuner to adjust based on what the gauge was reading out.

The gauge is convenient.
But since they both plug into the OBDII Port you can't run them at the same time.
I could see the gauge being useful between tunes when you have passengers, but other than that...... I dunno, I'm just thinking out loud.
