If you plan on doing lots of mods(and making your own) it is best to have something very accurate that can store critical data.
I don't plan on needing that advanced setup. All I'm planing on doing is already done except for a moderate pulley and Drag Radials. An intake, 178 Pulley, ECU Tune and Exhaust doesn't need that level of monitoring. The car is still very close to stock at that point. Now, if I ever start getting into NO2, big pulleys, Custom tunes etc. then it would necessary.
All I'm saying is if all you need/want is a complete set of gauges, that a car like this should have come with anyway, these might not be a bad option. They obvioulsy aren't suited for tuning or serious monitoring of a built up beast.
Your ASSumption of my ignorance is annoying at best. You talk down to people as if they don't know what the **** they are talking about. I've been arond fast cars and been building engines since I was very little(helped build my first 350 at 7 YO). I now my stuff. I've built/owned 10/11 second street cars that were daily driven, so don't sit there on your stump and preace to me... I see just fine through my glasses
