Data logging at the 1/4 mile track.
Has anyone done much of this? I am going to the strip sunday, and plan on taking my laptop. This is my first time at the track this year, I don't go often since it is 2 hours away. I hope to get 3 time trials plus as many elimination runs as possible.
What paramters should I be concerned with? Obviously high O2 readings at WOT. I don't plan on changing chips or making lots of adjustments at the track. Just want to get some good repeatable runs, and lots of scan data.
------------------
Best ET 14.413 @95.57 without
pulling valve covers or manifolds.
Also with stock 2.77 rear end!!!

O2 volts and retard are an absolute min..
timing temps VSS all play there part in tuning.

Well I made it to the track today, but I could not get my Ease Scan tool to link with my ECM, so I got NO DATA today!!! I was thoughly pissed. I have been having trouble linking up lately. Anyone else have trouble with Ease scanners?
Also, went about 1-2 tenths slower than last year. Could only manage 14.52 at 95. Oh well, just gives me incentive to work harder on chip tuning.

Just a thought, those 2 tenths of a second can be accounted for by weather conditions: Things like Tempreture, Atmospheric Pressure, Humidity, Wind, etc. could make that kind of a difference.
