Data logger? For what?

[buugiewuugie]

I think I already know. But I'm not quite sure. I have tried a quick search and didnt come up with anything.

Do I really need a data logger? Is this something that I will only use one time? What exactly do you use them for?

www.pocketlogger.com lots of info on there.
You will use it often enough to pay for it.

Put it this way...Its kinda like you posting this question on here and not having a computer to see what ppl answered.

In other words. A logger is the only true way to know whats going on with your car if you have modded it. You can have all the answers to save your engine from harm (running lean for example). Or all the tools you need to get the absolute most from your mod additions.
Now on the other hand. It is a MUST that you understand how your software works. Or you will just see alot of pretty grafts, and it will be useless. With that being said. A logger of some sort is most def. a worthy investment. Knowing is always better than guessing. The reason I didnt get into detail on how it works is because it would only confuse you, and each software varies. DSMlink seems to be the simplest way to go. I on the other hand am still old school, and use the good ol' safc, gm maf and TMO(logging software) etc.


Hope that helped.

is that pocketlogger the best way to go?

It's what I have. It's the most expensive I think, as there are "free" loggers. I don't mind supporting the DSM community, using something reliable, getting free upgrades and tech support, so I bought instead of scammed.
