The red FAST display has playback ability and costs maybe a little less than the others.
Where it falls down is, it plays back to it's own display on the little screen and that's all you get. If that's enough, it might be worth a look.
If you need it to dump to a laptop into a spreadsheet or something like that, it won't work....look somewhere else. It's kind of caveman which is what I wanted....I don't want to haul a laptop around in my 1969 musclecar all the time, it just seems wrong.
Daytona Sensor makes one also...if I remember right...it can do the spreadsheet thing and so on. Have used that one at work a little bit and it seems pretty nice. Might be worth a look.

Ive ran the autometer in my last 2 rides and I like the setup! I keep an eye on it at WOT but it can record at WOT... I think its a great tool and dont think i'll ever run without some type again I just wanted to see how low I could get her to idle... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V74cnr_Xjl4

I use a LM-2, I did have a bit of trouble getting the RPM to work but they keep putting out upgrades that are free to download & after a few small changes my RPM log is perfect. I also log vacuum (MAP) and of course A/F The SD card system & logworks software is worth it's weight in gold You can see so much more when you are not trying to drive the car as well & the SD card just pops out, into your laptop & you get a really good look at what is actually happening buy either looking at a custom set of gauges that move in real time or in graph mode. Here is a print screen of the graph mode of one of the logs from my 383. Another good feature with the LM-2 is the screen reverses the colours of the background & the numbers when you are recording so you can tell at a glance that it is recording.

I have an LM2 that I am pretty new to. I haven't used it much but so far I like it. Since my Barracuda is apart I have used it some on my jeep just to get the hang of it. It works well. Like mentioned above its easy to pop the SD card in your laptop and playback your runs.

I use an MTX-L gauge. I got it from a dealer on yellowbullet.com for an AMAZING price shipped. Its a permanent install gauge, but i have it rigged for temp use since im going to be moving between mine and bro and dad's cars. So far so good, im happy with how it works. I had to buy a serial converter cable to have it work with my laptop, but now I can datalog with it...yes, it does not show RPM's, but im fine with that. I have the laptop plugged into it, after I burnout just as im about to stage I hit the record button, and then pass the stripe and stop the record process...When looking at the graph you can see all the gear changes and watch where the AFR is going It's not the most accurate, but it works for me...and for the price, you can't go wrong

thanks for that vid, atleast now I know its normal for the idle to touch into the low 15's every once in a while...I was worried that I may be running too lean

Thanks again for all the info Guys. After reading numerous reviews for both the Innovate LM-2 and the Zeitronix ZT-2 with their ZR-2 gauge and calling Innovate and Zeitronix to have a couple questions answered, I opted for the zeitronix. It sounds a little easier to use for a non tech guy like myself. They both have their pro's and con's. The guy that I spoke to from Zeitronix was very knowledgeable about his product and was more than happy to answer my questions, plus their product is made right here in the good ole USA! I will let everyone know how it works out after I receive it and play with it some. Wish me luck......

They are a good unit, my friend has one on his blown C4 vette and he is far from being tech or computer savvy, and he loves it!
good luck
