I have Autotap. You can record data ans get info on all your sensors. You can get it at autotap.com

I picked mine up at Wal-mart for $99 and it has paid itself off threefold in just a few months. It has an optional laptop interface, but I don't know how much it costs.

Autotap seems like a cool tool .

I was wondering that myself.

I have a different ODB reader(I'm not recommending it so I didn't list it) that has the same feature but I haven't tried it. When I go to the dyno I am typically more interested in air fuel reading and how much timing than the number(although I prefer a higher number )

just finished reading the thread ...it looks very promising. I think I'm gonna wait on the release of that SCT data logger. Do you know if it will be open source too and if we can trick out a little bit the source code ?

I talked to Winston and he directed me to talk to Chris Johnson about that. I haven't done nothing yet since it's not out. I doubt it will be open sourced but it would be nice if they provided an API or something.

true..they are targeting 1st week of July right ?..can the software be upgradable by flashing the memory or something ? I'm sure they will corerct couple of bugs in the upcoming months..

BR2 OBD II interface - shows codes, etc, also realtime display of temps, air flow, timing, etc. Interesting to see how timing jumps up and down at times... Software is FREE for Windows/DOS, Linux. Cheap - under $75 .

I bought it to reset the freakin "gas cap loose BS code" I USED to get.
