I will be running a 421ci SB2 motor with Ron's terminator on alcohol.
Any suggestions.....
Thanks in advance.
I have a Computech egt plus if your just looking to monitor the EGT
Percy's is good too!

I have a data recorder from http://rpmperf.com/
Very easy to use and you can slowly build up the system one sensor at a time if you want. I don't have a SB2 but data gathering is all the same. For roughly $620.00 you can monitor engine rpm, drive shaft rpm, converter slippage, battery voltage and have one egt.

I use a CompuTech DataPro 45. I really added a logger because of the clutch I run which I use engine, input and driveshaft sensors for that . I also monitor acceleration, EGTs, O2, oil pressure, coolant temp, vacuum and shock travel.
If you're looking at the CompuTech you can PM me for a price. I'm a full line dealer for them.

Diapers are a must as the 'engine' ages :shock: :shock: :shock: :oops: :oops: :oops:
I can certainly see how electronics can 'speed things up', but they just aren't my style for the occasional race I run. I'm a K.I.S.S. kinda guy.

Just trying to see what you guys are doing to get the best of your engines. I already have so much money in this thing, I'm almost afraid of it. Oh well they don't last forever do they!

A data logger would be a wise investment IMO I like the Auto Meter Stack Dash, its easy to use and download data.
