I think the Motion Pro one that has the real mercury in it ($50-60) is about as cheap as you're going to get. I found one at my local accessory shop.

Good question rrasco. Although I can't find the link right now, I stumbled apon a post once that explained how to fab a sync tool. The only problem is that you can only make it 2ports. Ideally, you need a 4port to sync them all at once but it can be done with a 2port as well, just a little more of a hassle to switch back and forth before you get the propper tune. However, one thing that wasn't specified in the 'howto' is what to use as adapters. I realized that once the rest was done. Haven't really looked for anything that would work yet but I'm sure there must be a solution. I'm hesitant to get the old-school mercury type tool while the next-best thing costs upwards of 100$. If I can make one for 12$, why not give it a try?

Do you guys know what type of adapter is needed? 5 or 6mm? I'm going to buy this manometer, just need to know if I need the extra 6mm adapters.

No I think you're fine with the ones that come with it. I bought the "Motion Pro" one that it supercedes, and I was fine.

Thanks! I plan on taking pics and making a write-up for the F1 while I'm at it, so I'll get back to you guys on all that once I get it and sync em up.

I would like to know as well.

Back on topic,I get between 35 and 60mpg depending on traffic, howI feel like driving that day(i.e. grandpa or agressive), idiots thinking they can take a cane, etc. Usually around 125 miles per tank, without using the reserve, ~2.7 gallons. Because most tripsI drive a little bit of both styles.I just reset my trip meter at every fill up and keep an eye on it. Some of the lights here are almost 5 minutes long too. So I shut it down in the heat of summer, because I can run all the way to hot very quickly sitting there.

I guess I wasn't too descriptive, though.

Thanks, I particularly want to make mine show where to hook everything up, because that was my biggest hurtle, but I looked on my spare block and its right there. I think the syncing is pretty self explanatory in itself.
