I certainly do appreciate your input and am flattered by your interest (or is it a fascination with impending train wrecks?). I may sound like a contrarian twit, but I really just have a need to know, the nuts & molecules of an issue when I want to do something clever and cool. Generalities or conventional wisdom (which may or may not be well founded in the first place), doesn’t do it for me. Little at face value ever does.


As far as taking it out to Willow, I intend to do just that (or the like). I’m not sure what a “pro” would hang on the car. My somewhat foggy intent was:

A Laptop:

Wideband A/F with a PC interface & software.

OBD II/ laptop software setup (parses OBDII signals into a ton of output with data logging).

My AIC hooked up to the PC if for no other reason than to make “on the fly” tweaks. (Don’t know what feedback it might offer in its software)


What would you add or subtract from my proposed morass? (don't say "the car" please)


Thanx, PK
