nothing wrong with your idea at all. the only problem is your limited to what the obd monitors & can you split obd to mutiple  gauges.. I don't know about the sho, but the chally doesn't monitor oil pressure. wideband afr, or egt. now all those require hitting the engine somewhere to get the readings, so are more expensive to install. i really like the wideband afr as it immediately tells me if air/fuel mixture is right. egt I like as it measures engine temp. on my obd it's got some info like air input temp/ coolant temp, boost, things like fuel trim by bank. load rating , torque. my chally actually has a setting to show oil pressure the only problem in that mode can't surf the sirius stations, i like my toons a lot. really like the way todd did his aeroforce off the column. if money was no object would do the wideband afr, egt & an aeroforce in chris pod & another aeroforce like todd did his. but the thing i don't know is if you can split the obd to multiple devices, this is what the plx was doing, but saw a couple bad reviews & just to many boxes to make it work. choices/choices just stay away from prosport evos. like i said dynamite gauge at night time.

I do like the idea of WB AFR and Lamda measurements... everything mentioned can be plugged into the  Aerforce Interceptor gauge if it's not in the 100+ parameters it can read.... a little drilling, but not where it shows!... Again... It's a personal choice, not a dis...here's the list of sensors that plug into the Aeroforce... If you have time let me know what you think.  http://aeroforcetech.com/products_sensors.html

it's a lot better gauge than i remember when 4dr brought on board. i would still add the wideband afr & egt, as i remember 1 taps the manifold & one the exhaust. then keep the 3rd rotating around. the problem that i had with my little obd gauge for the chally is that quite of few of the values were not available from its obd port. that's why i would get those 2 wired & have other do boost & rest. will be interesting if it can do kr. on one of my screens i have setup ambient temp & input temp. give you an idea of heat rather than cold air getting to engine. the key with any digital gauge as i found in spaded is how it shows up in sunlight that's were the evo's just don't get the job done unless my installor didn't do them right but he did everything else right.
