I got the Xcal2 from Lidio and flashed my custom tune into my (chip removed) ECM. Then I set up the Xcal2 to data log the car. I can decipher the obvious stuff but I was wondering what the most important sensors were to monitor?

Does anyone know a good web site I can use to learn more about the different parameters.

This is a great tool. I want it to be a tool and not a toy. Well...mostly a tool ;)

Anyone else using this?

I need a laptop before using my XCal2 for data logging,.. it looks pretty nifty!

This is a great tool. I want it to be a tool and not a toy. Well...mostly a tool ;) Anyone else using this? I don't have an XCal2 yet, but I do monitor performance with a ScanGuage. Take a peek here to get an idea of what data can be instantly tapped? I believe there is more data than just these parameters, but the ScanGuage doesn't read that, such as fuel pressure. Maybe their instruction manual will give you a hint?

Otherwise, start here?

Thanks Mac, I'll check those links. Manuel? What manuel! You have to follow a "video" while installing the software to use the data logger.

A neat feature will be the ability to modify and / or tune on your own. I will not be tinkering with the MM, but I may have some fun with DefyantWifes minivan.:drool:
