    Not sure, but you probably are not going to gain anything really useful from that meter...they mainly just bounce around and look pretty. Were it me, I would return it and use the money to put towards a wide band meter. You can sometimes find the Lc-1 for like $125-150 and that will actually tell you something :)

    You are better off not installing it and selling it unless you just want it for a light show.

    buy 2 clocks. the afr gauge will be worthless at least the clocks will tell the time.

    I tried having one installed hooked up to my Lc-1 wideband and it was still worthless. I also found it pretty distracting as it CONSTANTLY bounced around and could not make up its mind. BTW my afr's don't bounce around like that, but the meter seemed to. I am just going to have to get a digital one that reads down into the 10's.
