Gauges for my Vortech?

[13 GT/CS]

Just recently purchased a Vortech and was wondering what gauges everyone was running with theirs..? I was looking into getting the Aeroforce Dual Interceptor Gauges and then buying the boost sensor and that would be it. Does anyone have any recommendations on what would be better or would this be a good choice? I have read some complaints about not being able to see the interceptors when its bright out, but I do really like the digital look. Any reply/feedback would be appreciated

I went with the aem failsafe in a vent pod. I love the guage but the location is not ideal when under boost. I wish I had done a pillar type mount.

The Failsafe is the ticket

Boost and AFR all in one plus it logs for 2 hours

its a cool gauge

Here's my setup, AEM AFR gauge in the roush vent pod, Autometer fuel pressure & Autometer boost on the a-pillar.
I ordered my Vortech JT 2 weeks ago now, still waiting for it.....

Would going with the AEM Failsafe be better than going with the Interceptors? I could go three gauges if I had too..

I run the same gauges as Tron84, except I have the aeroforce gauge in a triple sos pod.

would you get this over the interceptors? Im still relatively new to this

Pretty sure everything is from American muscle but I may have got the AEM one from someone else, I can't remember

I would definitely get the AEM gauges over the Aeroforce, especially the AFR Fail Safe gauge. Also, on the regular AEM gauges, you can hook them up to data log off them, i.e Boost, etc.

I meant the Vortech JT you've been waiting on?

any idea where I can get the other AEM gauges? and you cant hook up the aeroforce interceptors for logging?

Hit up Eric at JPC, they are direct with AEM. I run the AEM Boost, Fuel Pressure, Oil Pressure and AFR, got them all from JPC and have them setup to log.

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think you can log the Aeroforce gauges with the SCT devices like you can with the AEM gauges, really nice feature on the AEMs.

So you have it setup to where your AEM Boost, Fuel and oil pressure gauges are logging with your SCT tuner?

How exactly do you log with an external input? I know the gauge has a 5v output (afr gauge) but where do you go from there?

That's where I ordered my Vortech JT Trim from :/ hopefully it wont take that long

Thats what I wanna know also. I would love to monitor boost with datalogs instead of just looking.

When did you order? And have you received anything yet?
I'm sure you were also told that you'd start receiving some of the other parts right away while you are waiting for the main kit. Don't hold your breath for that to happen.

I ordered last Wednesday or Thursday, cant remember when exactly. I have received anything yet, and yes i was told the same thing. all ive gotten is an email saying I paid for it. Have you heard anything or received anything, and when did you order?
