Very. You can monitor your WOT O2 readings for air/fuel ratio tuning and determine whether you have any knock retard to dial back timing. Also, you can compare your times between different trips and determine the effect that weather conditions had on your ET & MPH through intake air temp, etc.

As Everclear said, Very helpful.

But a tip. Don't pick to many things to monitor at one time. It slows down the sampling speed of the program.

On one run, I'd do ignition advance and knock retard and maybe a few performance conditions so you can see how things react at certain temps, humidities, etc. Then on your next run monitor your O2's the same way

Get EFILive.

Dont even mess with autotap. Its too slow.

I recorded a short 0-100 blast on the street tonight 111 samples in 11.6 seconds. Each sample contains:

Commanded AFR
Calculated Load
Intake Air Temp
Knock
LTFT1
LFFT2
LTFT Cell
MAF gm/s
MAF raw freq
MAP
O2 B1S1
O2 B2S1
RPM
STFT1
STFT2
Spark Adv
Delivered Torque
Throttle Position
VSS

I was driving around doing mostly part throttle logging, at the track I'd probably be logging some different parameters.

This many does not slow down EFILive in any way.

Eric

ps: I'm at 7000ft elevation, so 0-100 in 11.6 isnt that bad.
