Most of you already know about this combo of tools but I've been using the EvoScan + DatalogLab + EcuFlash to tune a bunch of cars in the last 2 months or so and it's a great combo.
The ability to visualize data with DatalogLab and also to see before and after powercurve changes makes it indispensable in my opinion (this was a big reason I loved ECU+ before). Everyone already knows the power of EvoScan and EcuFlash already so no need need to talk about them
I won't do a total write up of every car but here is some eye candy before and after charts. If anyone is serious about tuning their car well, this combo is hard to beat. Couple it with any good wideband on the market and it's total tuning power to the masses, of course, if you know how to use them to their potential.
Keep in mind these screenshots are showing only some simple logged parameters as to not get too busy but DLL can plot any data log column from evoscan you desire.
I think its amazing that this community has risen up and created their own tools to help the masses understand and visualize car tuning. I've been doing this for 7yrs+ and right now is truely a golden time.
Enough of the soppy crap, judge for yourself the power of the software combo with a couple examples:

car #5

----------
Keep in mind, the DLL powercurves are hard to get exact corresponding numbers to actual dynos, but the before and after curves are what should be looked at.
These tools make tuning a evo this much easier, safer, and exact. I love them!
