Traditional boost gauges only measure air pressure, which isn’t a complete picture of engine performance. Banks Power’s iDash digital monitor measures Manifold Air Density (MAD), which accounts for pressure, temperature, and humidity, providing a more accurate reading of an engine’s performance. Higher air density means more oxygen per volume, which is crucial for optimal engine function.
