Sammy, I purchased this one, but have yet to install it...
I'll go and get the specs, BRB...

Sorry for the hijack, but I want to monitor fuel pressure via Dashlogic and was wondering what sensor and other hardware I needed to do that? I'm thinking all I should need is a sensor with a module that puts out a 0-5v analog signal and plug that into the Dashlogic, like with the PLX SMR output. Am I correct on that?
I've been looking online for some kind of kit, but can't seem to find exactly what I need.

Schpenxel's right (he always is, that's just how it is
).
You would need something like this:

Yes i know plx egt sensor but no need with a C6 ZR1, ECM give me EGT value with lambda sensor before cats, see my picture with a simple obd2 adaptator, i've got 940°C in bank1 sensor1, value is correct i test with an infrared thermometer.
I just want same PID with my dashlogic unit.

My EGT begin at 100°C until 960°C it's a real time value.
It's a correct value with both lambda sensors, verify with infrared thermometer.

There is sensor for both O2/EGT :

I think my C6 ZR1 has a similar sensor with both O2 (narrow) and EGT sensor.

It isn't a real measured value. It's an estimate that GM came up with in a lab. Pull fuel pressure or clog an injector up or anything like that that SHOULD show up in EGT and it will not show up.
It's an estimate. Yes, it moves, because it's estimating, that doesn't mean it's accurate or that it would show you anything other than the "normal" value if something actually went wrong.
At this point I'm starting to think you're just trolling.

How did you verify it with an infrared thermometer? By pointing it at the header tube? Because that would only tell you the temperature of the tube, not the exhaust gas flowing inside it...

).I'm going to order this asap.
IMV, everyone with a modified supercharger setup should be monitoring fuel pressure, as much as anything else, so someone should offer a simple plug and play kit.

With that option, their gauge will read EGT from the thermo sensor as well as the input from the wideband sensor, but they're separate sensors. So, check the exhaust pipe of your ZR1 to see if there's a K-type thermocouple probe welded into it. It there is, then someone other than GM put it there.
Besides, no one uses EGTs for tuning anymore, other than on an engine dyno. I've used them extensively back when I used to race 2-Stroke outboards, and I can tell you they can be useful for tuning, but only in conjunction with plug reading and only when you're working from a known baseline and you don't have things like unburned gas lighting off in the exhaust tract throwing you off.
So either take the advice that schpenxel and unreal are giving you, or dont, and go ahead and chase that optimum imaginary EGT - which, BTW, is what temp, exactly?? Enquiring minds want to know.

Time to start doing something with that knowledge and work on the schpenxel retirement plan. You know more **** about these cars than any two vendors on here, so I have no doubt it would be a successful venture.
Maybe see if you can talk Unreal into moving to Florida
and then you and him set up a shop there. I would be your first and biggest customer.

I'm in Florida right now, and work wants me here for the next 3 months.
No no no no no no no no.
Now moving to your island, maybe. That sounds like a better idea. You just have to give me enough business to support my 3 dogs.
