I'm never gonna quit saying this...
Will has built the most reliable 320hp V8 evar.
I just told him to order (much) lower compression pistons and slap a huge single turbo on there with a '730 ECU and make 600hp without even blinking, but he wants to do things the hard way.  (He really is an engineer in mindset and by trade. I'm just a power junkie with a lesser engineering mindset, heh)

At my school we have these "Pasco 750" computer interfaces:
http://www.pasco.com/featur...rkshop-750/index.cfm
It connects to the computer, and has several analog and digital inputs. It's kind of a user-programmable generic thing.
Once the data is recorded, it can be further processed/analyzed, and put into a spreadsheet.
I have no idea what the cost is though. Probably $$$.
Or, you could just run it for a fixed amount of time (like a week), and see how many times the RPM switch gets triggered with the counter to determine the cycle time...[This message has been edited by pmbrunelle (edited 05-13-2010).]

Not sure why you're talking about entry-level DAQs, but since you are, here's another sub-$1000 option....

I've used these before, they're not the greatest ever but they work, they're cheap, they're easy, and the software's free for life IIRC.
Omega gets them from another company (that I don't remember the name of) and re-brands 'em.

Back to work...
Magnecor wires on the way.
Injectors at machine shop for cleaning & flow testing (don't want to kill a new engine with a stuck injector).
Might have time this afternoon to pull the thermostat housing and come up with a better thermostat seal.
Ordered a 3.5" donut from The Chassis Shop ( http://secure.chassisshop.com/Default.aspx?PBURL=/ ) for use in plumbing a proper cold air intake.

Why not using silicone hose bends (Samco) as metal soaks up a lot of heat..defeating 'cold' air intake.?

It's hard to weld silicone to the base of the stock airbox.

Need to fix the thermostat housing seal.
