thanks to all the respondents. the Toshiba looks like a simple solution. i have a feeling this subject is of significant interest since we all are logging with something. any other replies welcomed. Howard

i have been using my HP Pavillion 17 inch screen laptop for logging/tuning. i want to switch to a smaller 14 or 13 inch screen machine so it will be easier to secure while i am on track at the Texas Mile. technology has marched on and i would like to take advantage of the faster machines. most of the newer Intel powered i7 machines run on a 64 bit architecture. will my V88 work with 64 bit? is there any advantage as far as logging speed with a faster machine? the newer machines offer a 3.0 USB. will the 3.0 work with the V88? any specific recommendations? thanks!

Dave, i second Scott's suggestion re Exhaust Gas Technologies. they offer a wide range of EGT related products that i have used for a number of years. i especially like their line of new voltage conversion modules (amps). they sell into the true professional racing market and offer very competitive pricing. their line of themocouples is broad and i strongly suggest you contact them so that they can build you the exact setup you need. i have no affiliation w them other than being a satisfied customer. excellent guidence from Scott. howard coleman

'looks like section 12.2.2 indicates .4 to 1 ohm is the preferred spec for all coils... Â

Hello to all in Linkland, this is my first post. i am switching over from the Power FC to a Link Xtreme and am seeking some ignition advice. currently i employ two Jacobs FC3000 CD amps to power two MSD 8253 coils that spark two leading NGK 6725 plugs thru Magnecor 11mm wires. i run the two trailing plugs thru the factory setup using two MSD 8207 coils. i have no observable ignition problems at 8600/24 psi/500+ SAE hp w pump 93 octane and two Bosch EV14 injectors supplying 100% methanol. they are currently wired in parallel to the gasoline secondaries and run thru a FJO Peak and Hold module. lead plugs are run as wasted spark. (this will of course change w the Xtreme.) the primary reason for my post is that my 8253 coils have .16 Primary Resistance. a statement in the wiring document states: 'One dual post coil (with a primary resistance between 0.4 and 1.0 ohms) is required per 2 cylinders.' i don't know if this resistance requirement is meant to apply to non dual post coils so my question is am i O K w my 8253 lead coils or do i need something different? i would appreciate any suggestions that would optimise my Xtreme setup. thanks, howardÂ
