While at SEMA this year I always visit the "Showcase of products" area, this is one of the best places to see what is new at the show in a small area. If you have never visited it is well worth it. Anyways this year I noticed multiple companies offering up a OBD2 interface to operate the gauges in the vehicle. The issue I have been having is the GM performace ECU would not provide a proper signal for the Tack to work. I have tried all the suggestions out there and nothing worked especially the MSD pickup that was not worth the money I ended up throwing it away. I just happened to visit the Dakota Digital booth and saw my friend Scott Johnson and we started talking and i mentioned the OBD interface and he informed that they have a similar unit. I obtained a unit the following week and installed it this weekend. It worked right out of the box and made my day. I have been trying to get this going for over a year and finally have the resolution. So anyone that has an LS motor and is having a similar issue try this out it worked for me! now i can do a burnouts and see the RPMS

To those looking for a little bit of dress up for you LS motor I found this billet oil cap for 13 bucks on ebay with free shipping! Plus the anodized finish is unique. The same guy offers the same cap with different emblems for up to 30 bucks, not necessary the center emblem comes unattached and can be changed out. At least for me that is what I wanted so I can make by own custom emblem. Check it
