    That’s how i ended up buying a bunch of tools and now need a shop. Local mechanic quoted me $400 for installing my rear leaf springs. I’ve never looked back or been able to park my wife’s car in the garage since :bananadead:

    Besides the boost and AFR gauge what others ones are people generally installing? I was thinking oil and and fuel but open to see what folks have done. I have both the Lotek and flexpod. With extra time mind as well set them both up.

    I run oil pressure and transmission temp on the a-pillar. I am in the process of wiring up 2 voltmeters in the center console (one for each battery), and will add boost and AFR when I install my s/c.

    image.jpg This is the difference on the website. The lfr7aix on the left and lfr6aix on the right. Just different gap/ heat range.

    I thought about that. my ODBD reader gets me most of the core temps. Includes transmission. coolant, intake, etc. Might be a good one to have fixed.

    Sorry for the late response, fellas. Haven't been back on the page since 30 pages ago. I messaged Gerald, from HPS, and he has informed me that they have halted any productions of their products until COVID-19 is over. Since their manufacturing is in Europe, it will be quite awhile before it comes back online.

    @nudavinci64

    Boost/ AFR/ Coolant temp

    Those are the critical three since our coolant gauge sucks. I monitor battery voltage on my end but the fourth one is really up to you. Some like to see oil pressure, some like to see tranny temps. Sometimes I monitor MAF lbs/ min, some monitor oil, some monitor tranny temps.

    @o0opackersfano0o those are a heat range 7 plug with a likely gap of around .031. They a step colder than our own.

    did you get the 2.375 that shows up first? I had been debating on getting some of these before after @White lightning boosted posted his.
