Thank you, and thanks for the welcome!
I'mma go ahead and share the links I wanted to share earlier, for RealDash and the PowerShot, as I think they could be of great use to this community.
RealDash
With RealDash, you can create your own custom "dashboard" that fits on a tablet - it tracks every single component your ECU has access to, and is a breeze to use. Even in an older car like mine, it shows me an exact number for my oil and coolant temp, speedometer and you can even set up a tachometer that reads down to the individual revolutions.
There's no CEL - it'll instantly tell you the moment something malfunctions in your car, even if it's one of those annoying intermittent things that stop doing it before you can get to your garage to read your codes, and it has logbooks where you can go back and analyze every bit of data your computer had at the moment of malfunction.
The basic set up shows you a standard dash, with your music player and GPS and mpg pulled up. Cost 6.99 for the app and about 30-150 dollars for a Bluetooth OBDII. I'd show you my set up, but I dropped my tablet getting out of my car the other day
Oh, and I haven't tried it, but I guess there's a way that you can kinda create a virtual version of your car and then upload it into various PC "games," where you can then test engine modifications and driving styles to get an accurate theoretical model for how those modifications would affect performance.
You can even tune your Dyno if you know what you're doing, but I haven't dared to touch that.
It's really freaking cool.
I know you're all for the ScanGauge, but I truly love this system. You can plug it into your computer and read all kinds of technical readings.
Powershot 2000l
The Powershot is the Propane system I'm looking into using! The site can much better answer all the technical objections you've brought up.
