Thats with the stock cooler, the new cooler will be put in along with the new converter hopefully this weekend. It barely got above 130* this morning but we had a big storm roll through so everything was wet out so I'd imagine that kept somethings cooler than normal.

I know you can data log on the unit itself, it will only do 60sec worth though if I remember correctly. As for connecting to the pc, I dong know. It has 3 different plugs in the back so I would think that you could probably buy a cable from them to do it, but it did not come with one.

The temps seem to be accurate, rpm and mph are dead on, and there are about 15 more features I have yet to look at that it can show (mpg, mph, rpm, coolant temp, trans temp, battery temp, battery voltage, alternator %, cam degree, fuel temp, fuel status... thats all I can remember off the top of my head from last night but there are quite a few more things it will do on top of that). Its really nice, not distracting and easily readable.

It has an alarm (it should have 2 but I could only find one last night) that flashes when a temp gets to hot. It came with an extra adapter but since it didn't have any instructions I dont know what it is for just yet (Im assuming it is for adding another sensor to the unit like a wideband).

HD cooler is NOT in right now, it will be put in with the converter over the weekend. Those temps were with the stock cooler...

Today wasn't the best for testing stop and go traffic since everything was soaking wet out and raining, Last night I took it out and got on it hard for about a half hour and it never went above 155*. Hopefully with the HD Cooler and the new Converter it will stay right about there

The gauge plugs straight into the OBDII port (where you plug your tuner into) and reads the stock sensors. No tapping into lines or test ports.
