Which Cobb Gauges?

[MJK]

I’m running Goosetune, Cobb TCM. All else is stock. Curious for those of you with other performance upgrades (or not), which gauges do you monitor and when?

I geek out with my setup and like to think about the most practical gauges to display.

I leave it in the glovebox. It doesn’t tell you much that you would need to know imo.

I like to watch charge air temperature, intake air temp, boost pressure, oil pressure, total knock count, and Octane adjust ratio (OAR). I pre-logged all these things prior to adding tunes and running stock. Then continued to log with aftermarket IC, CAI, AMS tube inlets, etc.

I was able to use knock counts to determine sparkplug #4 was giving me fits vs the coil pack by watching all 6 cylinders.

When I was custom tuning with Winfield (Goosetuned) I would monitor estimated HP/torque on the 4th gear pulls to get a sense of each map he provided. For example on the e30 map it was 472 hp/580 tq vs the e50 map I logged 530 hp/618 tq. I know these are estimates but it at least gave me an idea at the crank. My ass could definitely feel it.

none on my tuner...i am not 17 looking for "bling" on the dash.

do a few data logs......then put it in your glove box.

I assume you’re doing 4th gear pulls using the paddles/manual?

correct.
