Boost guage on a blower car, probably not. It will let you know if a belt is slipping or you have an issue. Maybe you have 500rwhp now instead of 600. Boost gauge would let you know. Now AFR and FP gauge, yes those have saved the day many times. Great thing about the dashlogic is you set warnings so the car warns you. You don't have to stare at them. The HUD/Dash/SPeakers will warn you.

You can get boost from the factory MAP sensor, so you would only need to add a fuel pressure sensor to watch fuel pressure. As mentioned by Unreal, you can set up audible and visual alerts for whatever PIDs you want. Makes it great for knock and things like that, that are not fun to watch because they should always show zero. Set an alert for it and it will watch knock for you in the background and only warn you when there is knock. Or a fuel pressure drop, lean out, overheat, IAT too hot, whatever you want to be warned about and as many things as you want to be warned about.

Depending on which model you have. Most likely you will need a boost sensor and a WB kit for AFR and a fuel pressure sensor.luckily for me the ZR1 have them all beside AFR, it really depends on what you want to monitor.

A ZR1 has fuel pressure from the factory, if you don't have a ZR1 you need a sensor if you want that. Wideband is not on any Corvette, so you will need that if you want AFR. Boost comes from the factory MAP, so nothing to add there.

Does the fuel sensor detect all the other items you mentioned before?

Ok, so on a 13 grand sport That I am installing a a&a supercharger kit, what gauges or info should I keep tabs on?
In my 55 chevy strip/street I have a fuel psi/boost/no2 fuel psi that I do use usually after a pass on the go pro or glance before I leave the line or hit the no2.
The gauges also saved me when a pump quit, but I know its a dinosaur compared to the c6.
If I go with this system I would want to monitor the supercharger and fuel system.
Im thinking of this system or the areoforce.

The dashlogic can read any sensor pid on the car, and any you wire in. What do you mean fuel sensor? A FP sensor will read fuel pressure, a AFR sensor AFR. The rest of the stuff is all read through factory sensors.

You guys keep saying "dashtronix". But you are really talking about DASHLOGIC by Palmer Performance. As far as I can tell, Dashtronix (which is a completely different company) has gone out of business. As of the time of this post, www.dashtronix.com is now redirected to a dummy landing page.
DashLogic does pretty much everything Dashtronix can do plus so much more.

Fortunately, they both work together with an OBDII splitter cable. The Dashtronix lurks in the background until my Beltronics STiR+ detects a CHP shooting 34.7 radar, and then it pops onto the HUD. Otherwise, the DashLogic displays the gauge data. Very cool.

You would need to buy a FP sensor and AFR sensor/controller. Boost can be read through factory map sensor. You only need to add the sensors your car does not have. No corvette has AFR and only zr1 has built in FP.

I didn't think the Dashlogic could read just any FP sensor. Don't you have to make sure that the supply is a 0-5v or something? What sensor can you run that provides a 0-5v output independently without reading off an accompanying gauge or something? I am debating this setup as well and would like to monitor AFR and FP. Send me a link to the sensors to buy and I'll order the Dashlogic and the sensors so I can plug all this crap in and have no gauges which would be great.

To hook up the AFR will I need to weld in another 02 sensor? I would think you could tap into a existing one.
I don't see a fuel pressure sensor listed.
They are $50.00 off this month , don't think a group buy will happen.
