are these kits good ??


This may sound goofy.....but several years ago I watched a YouTube video about installing a PEP kit in a Bird.....and it is sticking in my head.... that the guy in the video said that you wanted the kits from Florida.... not New York.

I could be VERY wrong.....but it is just sticking in my head. I will go take a look....

Funny you mentioned that. A friend and I had the same conversation yesterday and he was saying. Florida.

ok thanks, I went ahead and order one i rather use one meter than having to switch back and forth for peak reading
 
Matt sells legit stuff.

But I'm skeptical of the "multiplier" feature. Multiple ranges per element should introduce errors, but that's just a suspicion, not experience.

The PEP part of that board should be okay if you leave it on "times 1".

Should be a board for sale that provides the peak-reading feature alone. That's what we use.
