Default Data logging

I've saved up some money to get my hands on a data logger so I can fine tune my truck.
Have any of you guys has experience with a data logger? Or any experience with a company
called innovate motorsports? This is what I'm looking at installing along with a wide band
O2 sensor.

My truck. its not dialed in and I would have to drive 8 hours one way to get to a dyno
that tunes with the SCT. With this unit I can log engine parameters and email them to
my tuner and he can in turn email me with an updated tune.

I haven't look at the link you posted too closely, but my friend used their wideband in his Turbo Integra. He hasn't complained about it, so I think he was happy with the product.

As far as experience, there isn't much to it. Just wire everything up, and then save logs under different loads and driving conditions where you want to fine tune. After that, it's only a matter of interpreting the acquired information.

Thanks for the reply man but I was more looking to see if anyone had experience with the
company itself. I'm trying to determain if they make a good product or not.

Innovate makes a GREAT product. I have their LC-1 in my truck now. I can daisy chain a LMA-3 in later. Their wideband can read from 7.4 to 21.9 A/F and can read fast enough to distinguish the A/F ratio in individual exhaust pulses from each cylinder.

The LMA-3 is a good product but beware its a bugger to wire in. After you get it up and running, you should be gold to send the info to your tuner to dial it in.

No. SCT does not offer data logging for our vehicles.

According to Hemifever, they are still working on getting this for our trucks, but still not as of yet. I ask him every so often to see if they've cracked the code, but I'm not holding my breath. I still haven't gone to a dyno to get my truck dialed in yet. It's definitely close from what he has done through the tuning, but it may be able to be even better. I think I'll end up spending the money for a good data logging tool to get the info he needs, instead of paying to get it on a dyno every time I need it adjusted.
