going to scann my car in the 1/4 Mi what should i record?

I am going to the track this weekend to do some 1/4 mile runs with my Auto Tap hooked up.

I want to know what sensors and stuff i should record to make sure she is running in tip top shape.

As many as you can.

Definitely o2s
All your intake and tb sensors would be helpful too, to see if there's any fluctuation.
See if the pcm is retarding timing due to indicated knock or temp, etc.

AutoTap will show you the amount, if any of "knock retard".

A better approach might be to delete the things you don't want on a 1/4-mile run, like "desired idle", A/C pressure, EGR duty cycle, EEC duty cycle, IAC counts, . Do not record both voltage and temperature for things like IAT and coolant. Record only the temp. That deletes an uneccesary column.

The things you definitely need:

RPM
MPH
Coolant temp
IAT
MAP
MAF
BAR
TPS %
TPS volts
Cell #
BLM-left
BLM-right
O2 - left
O2 - right
Pulse width - left
Pulse width -right
Spark advance
Knock retard

FRED

Could i send you a copy of my log for you to review in cvs format?

I am pretty sure it is running ok just want to make sure befor i put my $$ into new mods that i dont need to work on anything else.

Last run i ran a 13.95 at 98 MPH with LT, Cai, LT4 km, 2:73 gears

I will be putting on new plugs and wires for the next run

my next mods are LCA, Sway Bar, TQ Arm, 3:73 gears, 3200 stall

I want to be in the low 13's by the end of summer

Yes.... if you send me a .csv file, I will look it over. I just ask that you be patient... seems like I am spending more time answering questions and looking at data logs than I spend on my own car - which is sitting on blocks.
