Please go through this thread again. You've been given links to both PHP and VMP. Both are excellent choices in my opinion. None of us can tell you if one is better than another!

Just curious What guages are you monitoring. i dont have a clue on most of the readings, like spark or fuel rail pressures and engine load. . i do from time to time use the ave mpg and impg in conjunction to EOT and TFT.

I monitor the CHT, TFT and Battery Voltage. All relate to the fact that I tow a trailer pretty often and want to keep an eye on those temperatures in addition to the charging system since the trailer has two batteries and a refrigerator that is powered while underway.

I'm also monitoring the "Comm Gears" which tells me the current gear selected and the state of the Torque Converter. I try to minimize shifting and TC unlocking. (But, this you could tell by "feel").

You can do a max of 4 at one time. I monitor engine temp, tranny temp, voltage and speed

I monitor cht, comm gear, batt voltage, engine load, and sometimes rpm.
