I was thinking about getting one, and was wondering if any one local had it, and what their opinion of it is. ---

I should have Googled. Sorry. It looks like a fancy OBDII scanner. How will it give you a HP increase per the main page? Marketing fluff? The only thing that I would question is the sampling. OBDII is notoriously slow (Gov’t protocol; go figure). Also, can you datalog with it or export to some flat file? I really like my scanmaster. It basically shows timing/WB02 at all times and allows me to iterate through some other OBDII data as well as view/clear OBDII codes. ---

I think like mid $200. It outputs to a datalogging software for real-time display via palm which outputs to an EXCEL format I believe. ---
