Yes- and look into RPM Performance. Simpler, reliable and a higher level of personal support than Racepak.

I agree with the yes answers. Having the basic data allow tuning a car to be very consistent. I like the Racepac system.

My son Jon and I have similar 340 Stock Demon.
He dyno's his engines and has a Data Logger with
a lot of channels.

I do not use either one of those and mostly scratch the
seat of my pants.

Last week at Sac we ran side by side at the same exact
weight and the finish was '.003 in my favor.

Of course = He reminds me I was racing over 30 years in these
cars when he was born.!

Buddy of mine got talked into a pretty basic Racepac a few years ago. Has owned and raced the same car for many decades and thought he knew every thing about it (and his driving).

Put it in, took it to the track and made a few test hits. Looked at the data and couldn't believe what he didn't know.

Made some changes and the car is deadly now.

I'm a believer. Add video and you're set.

The first thing I learned with my data recorder is that I didn’t drive the car very consistent.

If you run a clutch, I'd consider it a must have.

So question for everyone that got a data logger. How much ET did you pick up from the data logger alone from identify the optimal configuration?

Default Re: Data Logger Worth it or Not?

I just recieved a v300sd from motorsports innovation, Gregg Kelly seem very knowledgeable and eager to answer all the questions i had, prompt service and upgraded shipping, when i bought the cobalt it had an old racepak with outdated computer that we have not been able to access the information from. Can't wait to get it installed and figure this car out ...
