RPM = the best! very easy to use and understand and the customer service is great! Also, the instalation is very professional with exact sized cables and good solid connectors. I use one on my car and love it! Very affodable and easily upgradable too! Altronics = junk! I tried one of there systems a while ago. customer service sucks and the system NEVER worked properly from day one! I sent my data recoder unit back 4 times and was charged each time and it still never worked right! Stay far far away from that junk! Racepak = $$$$$ a lot of the pros use it but I believe they get a discount to use it so that the sportsman guys will fork over serious $$$$ to buy them. I don't know how the customer service is. They pay contingincies for racers using their system, but if you are not running national events or points meets there is no reason to use them, RPM does the exact same things, for a lot less $$$ and the customer service is great!

Data is data... it comes down to 3 factors... are the sensor and the recorder accurate(are the sensors calibrated to the recorder)... then you have the speed of recording that data(how many readings per minute/second) and finally is it easy to read/retrieve the data... I use a recorder that is easy, called a Informer... dont even know if its still made... works well for the data I retrieve... has a on board readout or can be down loaded.... I have been reading data for over 35 years(from writing it down with a pencil) to reading 100s of data points on all different styles of recorders

All i can tell you is i got a Racepak sportsman, added O2 sensor, Pan Vac sensor. Now im about the cheapest do-it-yourselfer out there..... When it comes to things like this, and engine parts, etc i try to buy the best once, then your done. All you have to do is look through for sale ads, all you see its people saying they are up-grading to a Racepak, thats what swayed me, i was looking at the RPM stuff also and it seems very nice and the price is definitely good. Gary if i can use the data logger so can you. And wait till you see the info you get and whats going on that you never realized. Defenitely a wise choice and i can honestly say i dont know how i raced without it
....BAD A$$ STREET CAR.....
