Agree learn to tune w/o then use computer.I always read computer and still back it up with old school stuff. You can use computer to fine tune your tuning skills and its great for data.It is a computer and will crash at some time.

Hard to beat racepak. Give Tod Paton a call hes work with them and is racer from way back. Don't tell him I said so but hes pretty smart falla also.

I don't tune with my RPM data recorder. I use  more for preventive maintenance. EGTs for big changes in a cylinder that needs to be looked at.....oil pressure for a drop/change that needs to be looked at...fuel pressure for a change that needs to be looked at....RPM and traction curves... ect. There is only my wife and me so the recorder really makes running the car easier plus it is fun to look at !!!!!!!
The RPM unit does that for us at a reasonable cost.

I have an RED but I would put in a vote for RPM.  I have a basic system and it has worked well and the service and tech support is very good also. if you really need more features you may need another system.

Race pak.For me Ilike the fact I can expand it and add stuff like msd grid. Its been around longest and to me that meande best chance of them not going away like cygnus did.Anybody need a OLD CYGNUS?

might check out the AEM AQ-1.   use the can bus for logging egt and save inputs for other sensors.  can also use analog/digital to can bus drivers too if more inputs are needed.

just use standard sensors 0-5v, dont have to pay 250 plus for sensors like race pak. 

can also look at MoTec as well, check out their dashloggers.  you get a dash and logger in one, most all can log up to 500hz!!!  the big one will log at 1000hz if needed.  they have modules you can use for egt but i would buy the aftermarket egt to can bus unit and use that.

download the software for each unit your looking at and look at the sample logs.  look at what the logging rate is of each, and look at the cost for sensors and accessories.   race pak is a simple plug and play deal but they nail you on the additional sensors.

i have used both motec and aem, both logging softare interface are similar. 

write down everything your thinking of logging, even if not right up front.  then add up what the total cost is for each to achieve waht you want, then look at the software and the units logging rate.

*** edit ***  get the motec club logger CDL3 with 12 channels and then the E888 for 8 egt with additional channels.  the dash has three screens so you can have a warm up screen, run screen, and whatever screen.   also has a G meter in it too.  go to ebay type in CDL3 and E888 motec.  or john reed racing i think and motec sight.
