So I'm out and about with the guys at Project Gen. <--Shameless Plug
They're dyno tuning a few cars and one of the guys has this crazy peice of hardware (no doubt purchased from Radio Shack) wired to his laptop. Upon closer inspection it's not the AM tuner, I suspected, but a "tuner" of the more professional viriety.
"Is that any good?" I ask.
"Let me show you," was the response.
Air Fuel Ratio Display: Auto-Dimming 3 digit LED display
Visual Detonation Indicators: User definable, 3 LEDs to indicate severity of detonation
Audible Knock Sensor Jack: listen for knock though a set of headphones
Serial Cable: Extensive data logging abilities output to a PC
5v Signal: User definable, outputs 02 sensor signal to aftermarket ECU or dynamometer
Oh snap! I gotta have one! All it took was a swip of the credit car...a trip to office max to find a breif case that matches my car and I'm all smiles. :-\
Matching Brief Case
