Post Data logging?

Who is data logging, and what manufactures did you go with? I have been looking into the Innovate Motorsports data system, seems inexpensive to start out with, and very expandable.

Been using hp tuners for years to data log with stock computer. I have my innovate wideband connected to the hp tuners so it logs at the same time as the parameters I have setup.

Other than that I don’t know much about other systems to log with.

I'm using the Innovate logger and LM-1 AFR meter.

I wanted to try it out before I spent a bunch of money to see IF it did anything for me...I'm only logging AFR, and RPM right now, since its a LS swap with a carb

Doug G, your happy with the Innovate system? I was considering going with their logger that monitors RPM, Speed sensor, Fuel pressure, as well as their system that does EGT. Since I am building a new car I will need gauges in the dash I was considering going with their gauges that can be tied into the logging system as well. Ill be going with the MSD 6014 and it has some logging features in it too, so I will have the freedom to have redundancy when monitoring and tuning.

For what I feel is little over an entry level logger...I'm content right now and can add on a lot of other things when/if I want.

And this is my first logger, so nothing else to compare to except buddy's systems....some are way above my pay grade

Which innovate logger?

Hptuners is only $300, connects directly to your OBD, and can be used to tune almost every single engine parameter.

Another nice feature about the Innovate system, the gauges are dual readout, and they can be integrated into the logging system as well. I think I will be giving it a try first.

Hptuners will log your Innovate wideband alongside every single engine parameter available. If you're on the stock PCM, there is literally zero reason to even consider the Innovate as an option.

I guess I should have started out by saying, this is a carbureted motor, with coil near plug ignition. No other electronics other than the MSD 6014. I know the 6014 has some internal logging, however, I am interested in EGT's, fuel pressure, oil temp and pressure, water temp, ect.
