Default Which individual EGT system?

which one to buy for my N/A LS7 managed by BS3? is there a kit?

i'm searching because i pulled my heads off after about 20 full passes and about 10 dyno runs, and found out that some of the pistons looks Brand new!!! i'm not an expert but i don't think that's a good sign, right?

it's a N/A LS7 427ci (14:1), PI intake, 4500 Tb, ARH 2" headers, Ported LS7 heads and solid roller setup.

what do you guys think?

thank you in advance

i think you should start WORKING ON YOUR CAR!!!

an EGT monitor would really help in dialing in the tune , plus once you get it and its working properly , i can get on e just like it

Does Big Stuff sell the stuff to hook up to the box?

I know with my FAST, they sell a kit that hooks right up to the ECM, and you can log all the info right into it

BS3 does sell an EGT upgrade setup, but it is a fortune since you need to get all the CAN stuff.

I have the Red Alert system and it works reasonably well. Two minute record time with a 100Hz sample rate. can configure it to arm on powerup and then start recording at a specified RPM. Thats how I have mine set. I turn on after burnout and have it set just above idle so it starts recording during spoolup.

software is REAL finicky...I think I had to use a 4-character file name to save otherwise it would crash.

Another option is to use a RACEPAK datalogger setup and EGTs for that, still quite $$$...

no, it logs internally and downloads to a computer in a text format. It has software to graph and look at it, but you can also compile it with other data as necessary.
