I'm purchasing a timed-out Piper Cherokee Six 300.
Since I'm overhauling the engine, I'd like to install GAMInjectors and an engine monitor so I can run lean of peak.
The Cherokee Six panel has tons of space and I'm not thrilled with the stock placement of the tach and manifold pressure gauges.
2 questions:
1. Is the JPI EDM-830/900/930 the best engine monitor for the money for LOP operation? I have aging eyes and want something that's both easy to read and operate.
2. Is it worth it to jump to the EDM-900/930 in order to replace the tach and manifold pressure gauges? It seems like we'd be installing a lot of new remote sensors that could fail.
My alternative is to keep the steam gauges as primary and go with the EDM-830.
3. Lastly, I've also been looking at the Insight G4, but I'm hear very good things about the JPI product and support.
Thanks,
Buck
