You can also use a ScanGauge II or Ultra Gauge to monitor KR and other settings (like fuel trim). They cost less and sometimes can be found on the used market. Down side, don't look as cool as an Aeroforce on the pillar.
I run a ScanGauge II and worked with the company to get programming for some changes to it. I published that info here:

I also figured out to build a pass-thru cable for the ScanGauge so I did not need an ODBII splitter to connect other diagnostic gear in the car. Here's that info:

Now, I have had a laptop and Snap-On scan tool hooked up watching sensor reads. Those items do respond faster to changes then the ScanGauge II (especially the laptop). Not sure how that stacks to the AeroForce (never used an AeroForce).
For my needs, the ScanGauge II is sufficient (and I got it from a guy on another forum for $50 shipped). Food for thought if you are on a tight budget.
