OK, I just got back from Afghanistan and my awesome wife bought me a Whipple while I was away. Before I throw it on I want to get an A/F gauge set up. I plan on running Speedhut gauges. Which A/F should I go with? What other gauges should I have? I plan on running a boost gauge and have room for one more gauge. I was thinking water temp but unsure. Car is a street car with a possible road course here and there. Don't drag it at all. Recommendations? Thanks.

I went with the innovate wide band LC-2 with the speedhut Guage. Works great, the speed hut lc-1 Guage works with the LC -2 wide band.
As far as the other guages from speed hut I'm not really a big fan I'm still looking for a boost and either a oil psi or water temp.

sub'n....
I was planning on running fuel pressure and a/f, but I am still researching.

Dual aero force gauges with the extra sensors for your needs? Only thing I don't like about the lc1 or lc2 is the extra sensor modules wired. With my digital C-2 autometer it's the gauge and sensor only. The interface is built in the gauge. However it's 0-4volts signal across the board vs 0~5volts.
Aeroforce gauges have a lot to offer. I have one mounted on the steering column with there wideband. Speedhut gauges look very nice, I have a boost and oil pressure on the pillar. The aeroforce is great to look at vital things on these cars such as, battery volts, fpdc, engine temp, charge temp, iat's, maf counts, fuel pressure, boost/vac, ect. Also it's super easy to check for DTC and erase codes.
any input on the AEM wideband failsafe? Seems like a great set up?

I will never buy another innovative wideband. I dispose having to do a free air calibration. Ive used AEM in the past and I just went back to them. I bought the new fail-safe and am going to use that for AFR and boost. I bought the oil pressure add on for my aeroforce and plan on only using two gauges for a cleaner look now.
+1 ive been looking at that for some time now too. Seems like a brilliant idea. Definitly a motor saver if it works properly.
I like my Aeroforce. I only wanted to run a single column pod so I sold my Speedhut Wideband and went Aeroforce. I bought the optional 3.5 bar map sensor so now I can read my wideband and boost at the same time on the same gauge. If you want you can look at approx. 20 other sensors like the FRPS etc. To me the Aeroforce is a no brainer and I wished I would have gone that way to begin with.
That's what I did. TRBO VNM helped me with my setup. Great guy!
I like your set up. Where's you grab you're controller? Anything specific on the Speedhut gauges?
Question: would it make sense to get the Speedhut A/F and boost gauge and have an Aerofroce to monitor any and everything else? Yes the Aeroforce can do it all, but I want full time A/F and Boost. Just a thought....
I have speed hut revolution gauges. Green backlit, grey face. For my AFR I'm using AEM wideband UEGO controller (part number aem30-2310). Honesty any questions on gauges talked with TRBO VNM he's the man.
I have speed hut boost and water that I got through TRBO VNM that I mounted in a speed of sound A-pillar. Then a AEM air/fuel on the steering column. Looks great in my opinion. TRBO VNM is a excellent guy to do business with. Highly recommend him.
I like your set up. I still want the Speed Hut A/F and Boost and wondering if it makes sense to do the Aeroforce for anything else on the steering column. Looks like I'll be contacting Turbo Venom for all of that with all the recommendations.
Thanks guys, appreciate the kind words.
YGOSLO, replied to your pm. I don't know how the aeroforce reads oil pressure. IF it is off the stock sender, that isn't good. The stock oil pressure gauge is a dummy gauge and by the time it is low, it is usually too late. The aeroforce will monitor some other parameters if you want aside from just the water temp. Or like I mentioned, go with the autometer gauge bezel which has spots for 2 gauges. Then you can do oil and water there.

To read oil pressure on the Aeroforce you need to add our oil pressure sensor and connect it to one of the gauge's auxiliary inputs. If you've replaced pulleys for more boost you're going to want to monitor IAT2 temps in addition or A/F ratio. Fuel pump duty cycle and fuel pressure are also important to watch to make sure your pump is supplying enough fuel. If you're at the track or need to keep your eyes on the road the gauge can record data up to about 90 seconds. The warning lights will let you know if you need to watch the gauge or back off the throttle.

Beat me to it. I just finished wiring up my aero force oil pressure sender tonight. It's kind of a hassle if you follow there extra suggestions like add the resistor, 2V inline fuse and 5v regulator but worth it. Hassle may be a bad choice of words, it's just more work compared to your typical oil pressure sensor.
My only regret is I didn't go with dual gauges. I'm running the single Aeroforce and new AEM dual wideband with integrated boost gauge.
