MY Ecotec Baja ReBuild

I put a message in to my wiring guy. I will be running a OBDII port under the dash as well.
Took the Baja back to Dan Baudoux Motorsports this am. Going +10 out the front, +8 on the beam width and +4 on the arms. Gonna get Fox 2.0 Coilovers

Most of the car tuners offer them. Check out bullydog, edge, some others aren't coming to mind right now.

It seems expensive until you add up how many gauges and senders you can buy for $200 (it aint many).

Well as far as I've seen, most are tuners, and only list specific applications for tuning, but the one's I've seen will show gauge data for any OBD2 application since the bit stream is standardized.

I have since found an app for the android phone that uses a wireless sending unit that is put in the obd2 and give the information available that the computer has or will use the phones GPS for speed and acceleration and some other data the web site is www.torque-bhp
and this video shows it on a car.

That looks promising. The only thing I'd be worried about is having your phone out in the elements during a ride.

Something else promising about this is if you want a bigger screen, you can get a Barnes and Noble Nook Color. It's basically a smaller Ipad, but it runs on android. We bought my wife one and I hacked it to give it full use of the Android Marketplace so it will run almost any app. The bad thing about that is the Nook doesn't have a GPS.
