might check out the AEM AQ-1. use the can bus for logging egt and save inputs for other sensors. can also use analog/digital to can bus drivers too if more inputs are needed.
just use standard sensors 0-5v, dont have to pay 250 plus for sensors like race pak.
can also look at MoTec as well, check out their dashloggers. you get a dash and logger in one, most all can log up to 500hz!!! the big one will log at 1000hz if needed. they have modules you can use for egt but i would buy the aftermarket egt to can bus unit and use that.
download the software for each unit your looking at and look at the sample logs. look at what the logging rate is of each, and look at the cost for sensors and accessories. race pak is a simple plug and play deal but they nail you on the additional sensors.
i have used both motec and aem, both logging softare interface are similar.
write down everything your thinking of logging, even if not right up front. then add up what the total cost is for each to achieve waht you want, then look at the software and the units logging rate.
*** edit *** get the motec club logger CDL3 with 12 channels and then the E888 for 8 egt with additional channels. the dash has three screens so you can have a warm up screen, run screen, and whatever screen. also has a G meter in it too. go to ebay type in CDL3 and E888 motec. or john reed racing i think and motec sight.
