Really wish there was e85 here. Even though I'd get worse mileage I'd feel better paying less and having the safety advantages of it as far as the engine goes. And heath for my catch can I just went into autozone with it and had them cut me 4 feet of black heater hose to fit the nipple and it was the perfect length to have one short piece from the valve cover to the can and one long piece from the can to the intake

It burns cooler though so you have less chance of knock or detonation so you are probably a little safer than you think lol

what on earth would the catch can have to do with your oil level....its only there to collect the oil that gets sent back into the intake...very very small amounts.

Definitely. I love mine and it gives kinda a sense of security too. I actual get a little paranoid when datalogging since I have to unplug it and can't read anything

$228 I think is what I paid from ZZP. Worth every penny. Monitors everything you could ever want it to and some things you probably have no clue what they even are (at least for me when I first got it). I was surprised at the amount of things our stock computers read, but just have no place to display the information

It reads boost also but most people get a separate boost gauge just for the looks of a mechanical one. And you can buy a wideband kit that wires into the gauge so it will read air/fuel.

I thought it only read boost if the car came boosted from the factory? or can you hook up a vacuum line to it as well? and how about egt?

i wanted to do polished ribs but the guy who had the sc before me had painted the sc red and then black over top of it so it woulda been alot of sanding to get down to being polished so i just sanded alil and painted it

That's what I thought. I was assuming I'd need to get a boost gauge too

It reads boost on any car. It only reads so far because of the MAP sensor. The stock 2.2 MAP sensor is a 1 bar MAP but I converted to the LSJ 2.5 bar MAP when I did my sc setup so it reads boost accurately but I still have a mechanical boost gauge just for looks basically. It brings simple happiness to watch the needle go from vacuum to 13 psi instantly (obviously depending on the rpms so we don't start another supercharger vs. turbo lag argument lol)

Thanks! I'll probably just get an interceptor with the air/fuel add on then.

Not discouraging you from this idea, but just something to think about is if you get the add on wideband kit, you won't be able to read air/fuel ratio when datalogging for your tune since you will have to unplug the interceptor
