think of it this way, a new replacement engine for a slk32(srt-6) is $36,000. people drop thousands on mods and cool looking stuff but datalogging equip. is typically the last thing they buy. when modding logging is critical and the only way to truly know if you need tuning or not. i did the same as most others and didnt log, then 3 55 engines blew up in just a few months apart and my logging started!
I do all my testing, practicing with roadster until the coupe is tuned....I just install things on the coupe, and do short drives for now, nothing all out until everything is installed...then the tune to bring it all together....
