Pulled the trigger on a Sportsman RacePak. Wondering what everyone keeps track of? My main concern is engine RPM, and driveshaft RPM for clutch slippage.

I monitor both G meters voltage . Engine RPM drive shaft rpm. fuel pressure crankcase vacuum O2 s on both sides. And oil pressure.. seems like there's something else I'm. Forgetting

You will want everything. Sensors are addictive. And they are legit. When you have a transmission problem you will look at your pressure etc. I had 22 on the Avenger and wanted more. Now they have tire temp, track temp (I didn't have those). Here is a real life case of why you want sensors. My Neon had fuel pressure for the nitrous system. So if I would have looked at my graph I would have seen that the fuel solenoids weren't opening. There would have been a blip there (or should I say lack of one). I damaged my engine and the Racepak would have saved me.

Idiot me have had mine for over 4 years and never bought a new yoke so I can add my driveshaft sensor.

Oil pressure
Water temp
Trans temp
O2 sensor
Egt added last year
G force
Fuel pressure
May have to add some I forgot to list.

Stick car - RPM, input shaft speed, driveshaft speed, Gs are the main ones. I'd like to see shock travel as well.


If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

Is the G meter already part of the RacePak? I like the idea of monitoring the oil pressure, and fuel pressure. Any extra advice is greatly appreciated.

All info is good info but shortly after I bought mine my oil pressure was jumping to 130 pounds PLUS during a pass. If not caught who knows what might have happened. A simple pump change fixed it.

. There are several ways of monitoring fuel pressure high pressure at the pump.low pressure after the regulator. I would recommend low pressure after the regulator providing you have a carburetor 0 to 15 psi. Sensor. My cars fuel pressure was all over the board at speed. the race pack really help us tune all the issues out of it car actually picked up quite a bit of ET after I got it squared away

RPM,water temp,OP are part of the basic logger.

I like having driveshaft or wheel speed data. I would also like a G force meter, that is one of things Scott Brown used to make such big strides with Capone on drag week. He changed his shift point based on data from the g-meter and picked up .1.

No. Not much of a fan of that look. Trying to keep the car looking old school. I'll most likely hide the Racepack somewhere it's not too obvious, but yet I can access it easily.

Just something I will add. I bought the sportsman model and the display dash. About 1 1/2 years later my dash lights dimmed and are worthless. 2 years later I am still needing a flashlight to monitor my engine temps while in the staging lanes at night. If I remember right when I called I think he said it would be around 150-200.00 to repair it. I would never pay to hat much to repair it and I will not be putting the dash readout in my heads up car. I may try to fix it myself this winter while freshening the engine.

RacePak also has analog gauges which are pretty bitchen. No temp. or pressure sensors in the package. G's, rpm, driveshaft rpm and a 12V event. Most cars I've seen have them mounted flat about midway up in the car. I mounted mine flat and low in the car because my car is, well, low...Call Figspeed for good prices and on track knowledge on the sensors.

Prices are pretty price controlled so I bought my second one with a 10% off Summit coupon

I just bought the IQ3 Logger Drag dash.

I liked that the SD card is handy to get to on the face.

It comes with oil pres. and water temp sensors.

You might consider an EFI controller to run your igntion system, it will also datalog anything and everything you could want and not be tied to special racepak $ensors.

Just sent mine in for backlight issue and I was told $60 plus shipping. Should be back this week.
