Default Dashhawk - cool!

I had a Dashhawk in my Jeep SRT8 and for some reason (I guess because of the splash screen that said SRT), I didn't think it would work in the F. Well, I decided to give it a try and sure enough, nothing. I called MSD (the makers of the Dashhawk) and they sent me a link to download the latest version and told me to give it a go and sure enough, BINGO. Works like a champ. It can pull SO much info (admittedly, I have no idea what much of it is), but it's really cool. I have heard that they can be a bit optimistic in what they say for HP, but a good launch without wheel spin should result in a pretty accurate 0-60 time. Haven't tried yet in the IS-F, but pulled a 3.9 in the Jeep. Anyway, just wanted to share with you guys that the Dashhawk is pretty slick and works just fine with our cars.

Exactly.

Here's some info from Amazon:

and here's a review:

Note, however, that this thing isn't currently made, so if you want one, look for whatever MSD has done after this (??) or you could pick up a used one from ebay.

Kinda looks like it functions similar to the Torque app for Android phones.

Does it plug into the OBDII port?

The part that makes it display info such RPM, AFR, etc. I would definitely be interested in! I had an Apexi something-or-other that did that in a previous car and loved the extra info.
