Post Scanmaster worth the money?

I keep looking at this thing with my finger on the buy button but I just can't see dropping $250+ on something so small? I mean what kinda uses can this thing have besides just reading codes and stats?

here's something that may help

for you it probably wouldn't be great, but for say forcefedz it would be a handy tool (boost makes kr) if you had some other mods that put you on a borderline for major kr you'd probably want it but it doesn't look like it even reads trouble codes, and makes that hard to do

I know for a fact it will read 94-95 trouble codes and I think it can clear them too.

I'm guessing Brent has a realy good job? Seriously though some of the guys on CZ28 run the scanmaster plus a laptop with some datalogger software. Must be nice to have that much money.

no kidding, but really it doesn't look like it does much, kinda like the air fuel gauge, a bunch of pretty lights that really tells you nothing

I'm trying to find a write up someone did on the scanmaster on LT1tech, he had a full list of the functions it could perform.

now the question is do you know what all the info it gives means,99% of the time it would just be a neat light not really telling you anything
