Mount it where I suggested, get a feel for it's normal readings and response, and go from there. You may not see "ideal", but after using it a bit you should be able detect "abnormal", and that's all a gauge is really good for anyways (if you even happen to see it when your foot goes down).

Fine-tuning, logging/detecting slight differences between banks is way beyond your intended goal, you will never accomplish that with a single gauge.


I agree with this point, I suppose it doesn't matter if you just want an indicator that something is wrong. It is the same idea when modding and using the same dyno, we need a known baseline to see if the mods help or hurt.
