What all does it monitor on the v-10?

It'll monitor many of the PID's that your V-10's computer monitors... short and long term fuel trim, spark advance, torque converter slip, transmission temp, intake air temp, coolant temp, mass air flow sensor voltage, etc., etc. And if you download the free LiveLink software and you have a laptop, you can monitor and graph 'all' of the PID's right on your computer screen, live. You need the software to get everything, but the Livewire itself does most of the major stuff.

You can manually program what octane fuel you want to use, set it for normal/towing/economy, adjust for gear ratio and tire size, set shift points and shift firmness, adjust your spark advance in three different rpm bands, you can adjust fuel (rich/lean) at wide open throttle, change your rev limiter for both neutral and in-gear revs, change your speed limiter -- and there's prolly others, but I'm forgetting off the top of my head.

Its also monitors performance -- 0-60, 1/4 mile, estimated horsepower and torque, etc.

Do you have yours hard mounted or on the glass? I guess that will be my next upgrade to the X.

Neither actually... still trying to figure out what I want to do with it. Its a fairly large unit (which I hadnt expected), it prolly measures about 4"x6". Not exactly the best for mounting on the dash.

If you come up with any great ideas, let me know.

That is pretty big, I will decide soon if I will get one. If we get one I will let you know how we mounted it. Our stereo shop is great at custom stuff so we will see.
