U kno where i can find one cheaper? How often do u use yours? If not that often, do u think its worth owning it?

I have HP Tuners as well as the full license to tune my car. I personally love it because you can share tunes with other people online, ask what your doing wrong, and use it if/when you go to dyno tune your car. May it be its very pricey, just get together with a couple people/friends (such as i did) and buy it as a group (since its good for all/most gm cars) and share the cost. Then if need be you can add more people on for another $100 or so....

It might be a bit much for you to start on but its something to aim for.....

Mine is mounted onto my steering colum VIA velcrow. It is used every time the car is turned on. Great way to monitor knock daily. I love it. I searched classifieds for awhile to find one. If you want brand new, here is a site that sells them a bit cheaper.

I use my powertuner to get real scans if KR is kinda off the wall.

Heres my scanmaster mounted.

The scanmaster is a little more flexible in it's mounting abilities than a gauge type scanner would be but it's expensive and it has one of the lowest refresh rates (if not THE lowest) of the scanners on the market. If you're looking for something just to monitor a couple parameters I'd stick with the Aero force gauge.

My roomie had a aeroforce in his old 98 GTP. It was an original one and from what I hear there is a new gen out. Unless they upped the refresh rate on the new gen, it wasnt any faster then my scanmaster.

It is pricey though. Thats why I searched the classifieds and waited. Paid 190 shipped.

I think Im gonna go with Fish on this one. The price/features sounds reasonable. I still have to read up on how this thing works cause im still kinda new at this. Does the scanmaster corrects KR automatically or do i have to manually adjust it myself? Is it a plug and play type of thing or do i have to tweek aroung with it?

 

[Fish]

The scanmaster is just a monitor. If you get any problems you will have to correct it yourself VIA tuner or an AFC controller. The aeroforce is really nice if you have a gauge pod. I dont have one and I dont care to get one. Cramps my sleeper style.

Either one is a good investment. They are both plug and play. They plug into the OBD II port under the drivers side. I removed the lower dash and hid the wires so all you see is the scanmaster on top, and you cant see anything on the bottom but the plug is in the OBD II port. They both also read error codes as well.
