Default IAT Gauge

Has anyone ever heard of a guage with thermocoupler that measures a cars IAT while running it? It seems this would be popular with blower cars......I have a SC and would liket o monitor this after my IC especially on a hot humid day.

Yes, I used an autometer gauge in my SC'd 323. Just requires drill a hole in the intake track somewhere, and then some 12v switched power.

this software with the usb to OBD II port adapter cord can give all the ECU parameters in realtime either through an onboard PC, laptop or palm!!!!

Autotap is one of the worst scanners out there.

Depending on the model year Corvette and type of blower used the stock IAT sensor might not be giving correct temp
Also the PCM does not refresh the IAT values quickly.
Best is to install a IAT in the intake with its own gauge in the car.

I bought a indoor/outdoor thermometer at Radio Shack for $10 and mounted the outdoor sensor in my airfiliter. I ran the line up my A pillar and have the readout mounted to my visor. The readout is 2"by 1" and is digital. Works GREAT.
