$200 more and you don't have the hassle of wiring

Now i havent ordered my BS3 yet so.....
So what do i need to tell them when i order it???
John said to tell them to add the racepak connection

Something about a V-Net cable???
You were quoted $385 more?? was thaqt to send your unit back?
Yeah, think its the same either way but I'd have to check.

Cheaper to buy from the beginning that way??


Now saying this...
""The racepak will be able to display everything the BS3 monitors.""

Now that should be
Boost, FP, oil pressure, voltage, RPM, MPH, Temp. and Trans temp????
You've got more stuff than that.

I guess all i would need is Back pressure and and EGT's
What do you need to do to the BS3 to monitor that? I am going to load the program tonight and check it out.

What needed to add each if its not covered under the base??
John said that anything your BS3 can log or monitor can be displayed on the racepak. Racepak has a list and its pretty long and included a couple of things I didn't know you could monitor but I guess there is a sensor that will. They said if you have a VSS you can monitor vehicle speed also.


On a side Note Phil.....
are your going to use BS3 to control Boost???
No, we're going with AMS1000 and Co2. Alreay have both.


Cool man thanks for the reply.....

Looks like i have to make some calls LOL

Were going to run CO2 also..... was just reading up on the BS3 manual and saw it can control boost and was wondering if i could save $500 there....
I was looking at the new
Exile Unit..
MSBC-1ET01
Same as the old Innovative one... the newest version....

You need the DAE (Data Acquisition External) option, but it does log those parameters as well as driveshaft speed, g-meter, turbo shaft speed, etc.etc.

My BS3 unit has the DAI option, does that monitor the fuel and oil pressure?
