Has anyone had any experience using the Dash 2 display from Race Technology as a standalone unit in either a GTM or something else? Do you have photos of it installed?
I want something other than the FF5 supplied Autometer or Speed hut units and like the functionality of the Dash 2 unit.
My main concern is its small size.
The display is basically 6” x 4” and my concern is that this will not only look too small when installed in the dash face but have a crowded display as well.
The Dash 2 is the only display that I have found of that type that does not look like a radio shack after thought.
Comments and opinions needed.

I knew that I had seen one somewhere.
At 2:20 you can get a pretty good look at this unit installed.

Actually looks good. Still on the small side but not as tiny as I had first feared.

That's the AIM strada dash. I have used that unit in all three of my builds. If you use the GMPP harness for a LS2 or 3, it plugs right into the OBD2 port

Thanks Gary,
I am using the original LS1 harness modified as per the FF5 manual.
The AIM unit is a good option.
Currently trying to determin the final installation cost for my requirements for the AIM, Dash2 and the racepack units.

Probably looking around 12-1300. Withthe LS1 you will have to wire in all the senders but that's not a big deal.
