I have searched - cannot find much on aftermarket CHT Gauges.

I am building a 2056 that will run dual Dells - would like to install a quality CHT gauge and wondering what others have used.

I'm running the MGL Avionics Stratomaster Velocity TC2.

Digital, 4 channels, you can see the temp of every cylinder.

User manual:

Might seem excessive to some, but it's been a massive aid in tuning and knowing that each cylinder is right on target. I also had an unexpected vac leak issue a couple months back, and looking at the gauge I knew immediately which cylinder had the problem.

Here it is in my center console...

I like that one, I was just going to ask about it when I saw it on the spruce site!
