Default Need ideas for data logging obd2

I've been reading here for a while but I don't even think ive ever made a post and now I'm in need of help. I have a 97 camaro, LT1, OBD2, and I need to do some data logging to help fine tune a new set up I got. I went to the dyno and did some pulls and it is lean as rpms increase but towards redline it starts to richen up. I don't know what kind of software to get that will log whatever parameters I need to find out what's going on. There is a lot on the internet but I have NO CLUE what to get. Suggestions are needed please. Thanks.

Damn 97s is right. If someone can just tell me what to get I'm all over it. After I find out how to log it then I got to get the software to tune it and go back to the dyno and have them tune it. They only got the software to tune 98+. I don't know if you could get software tuning that data logs as well. That would be sweet. As you can tell I have very little knowledge on the computer aspects of cars, lol.

Just watched a video about autotap. I wonder why it doesn't work well with our cars. It's obd2. Maybe it can get the job done even if its not the ideal choice. Hmmmmm.......
