Battery

Currently a stock battery (?). What are good options here? Odyssey makes several options, but there has to be better nowadays.

Engine Management

Bought a MegasquirtPnP. It only supports batch fire injection and wasted spark ignition, but that should be fine for us for a while or possibly forever. I'll eventually need to buy a KnockSenseMS board for knock control with it, but that can wait until I get the supercharger started.

Wideband

Bought a Zeitronix Zt-3, the same thing I've been using with pretty good success on the KLiata. The MS3 seems to support it just fine.

DAQ/Instrument Panel

Buying an Evo4 + MyChron3 for now. It can read from the MegasquirtPnP (MS1) via RS232. It supports as much data as we want down the road -- can do 12 tire temp inputs, 4 shock pots @ 1000Hz, and our other analog pressure/temperature inputs.

Tire Temps

Opti-Grip seems like a surprisingly affordable package. Would need to figure out how to integrate it into existing datalogging, but it could be neat...
