    Also, how are you guys logging your AFR with the diablo? I have an Autometer Wideband setup, and it has an analog out. Is there a way to take that input and log it with the Diablo Data Viewer? I'm using my eyes to log it now, and it's not the most effective method.

    Nope, its a stock PCM. Also, I know its not oil in the intake because I took that off and cleaned the oil out of it when I put the B/T catch can on it. its dry as a bone now. That did help alot though. Here is another thing. When im at +13% I have virtyally NO KNK at all. Maybe a spike of .5-2.0 for not even a second, hell, not even a half second. I know its pig rich. I can go down to +8% and get spikes to 2.0-4.0 at times but dont get anywhere near as much timing as the stock tune. Ive seen 20-22 degrees of timing on the stock tune but out of the box canned 91cai tune ive seen only 18 degrees with spikes of 4.0 KNK retard. I did switch to the 93cai tune today with +13% in all ranges and was seeing spikes of 2.0-3.0 KNK but was having a good total timing of 22-23 degrees. Its been hot and humid here so that does make a differance too. On my way home from work today im going to drop the fuel from +13% to +8% in the 93cai tune and see what happens. Ive noticed the hotter it gets outside the more KNK there is. Im thinking of relocating my intake air temp sensor up by the air filter. Ive seen up to 115 degrees IAT and this is when the most KNK happens. I need to get that IAT number down. Freakin FL heat!!!

    Everybody is doing the same right now. Diablo is "partnering" with Innovate for integrated logging. I say "partnering" because last I heard of it Diablo said they were waiting on Innovate and Innovate said they were waiting on Diablo... DashHawk has also been working on a generic solution. They have a unit to accept a generic EGT sensor and still working on one to accept a generic AFR sensor.

    Both loggers are plugged into the bus. So you need some way to get the wideband output into the logger. Either some sort of direct serial connection or something like that or some way to convert the 0-5v analog into signals that can be polled over the bus like the PCM is polled for the other PIDs now.
