Why would you spend all that money on a Racepack when you can datalog every paramater of MSII with megatune and a laptop.

Thats a good question..........

well, the cockpit of my car is 23 inches wide, wheelbase is 225" long with no suspension, and shakes hard when it does a burnout....... I guess i could mount it to the top of the cage???

I know, it seems silly to run a MS with a hi $$ datalogger, but what else do i do??

I'm running a Racepak GX2 in the car with the MSII.
As long as you can access a square wave tach signal, you should be fine.

Have you checked out the Palmlog section of this forum. It work's really well and old Palm are a dime a dozen and small enough to put about anyplace.

Thanks for the info
I have looked into the palm log, I am sure it works good, I would just need to find the right palm to do the job. it looks like the older versions what you need.
