I will also be experimenting with 1 line vs 2 line LCDs to see what will fit in the slot that the clock peeks through. the slot is actually about 1 5/8" x 5/8", so it may be possible to squeeze a 2 line by 8 character LCD in there, which would allow the clock or temp to be displayed simultaneously with one of the other items.

Also, the RPM measurement will be done directly (via the Tach input wire to the meter), rather than through the CAN comm with the ECM. This will make it more responsive than the devices that get it second hand from the ECM.

was looking at the hole and it doesn't seem super big for the two-line display to be able to have the same size digits as what's already in there. :(
