Doesn't the AP offer real-time data monitoring, though? It seems to me that there's nothing that the DH does that the AP doesn't do as well.

Honestly, guys, the thing that attracts me to the AP more than anything else is the economy map. I do a lot of driving for which I get reimbursed; basically, the higher my gas mileage, the more I net when it's all said and done. Also, there is no 93 octane to be found in the great State o' Maine and I'd like to use the AP to compensate for that.

Eventually, yes, I will probably be putting more go-fast stuff on this thing beyond my current Cobb SRI. In the meantime, I would like to be able to use that econ map and also keep track of some data.

Some folks may become paranoid, but ignorance really isn't bliss. IMO, you really shouldn't run the AP, or any other mods for that matter, without installing and becoming familiar with a DH (or scangauge or something similar) and how your car works BEFORE any mods. Not that the DH prevents any problems as it is simply a real-time data monitoring device. Note that the AP has a data record function that is more robust than the DH, but it really takes both to know what's going on.

You wont be ignorant with the AP because you can data log with it. My argument is not against the DH. Someone asked if you had to choose one which one would it be.

They both data log. One lets you realtime monitor one perimeter while the other allows you 6(?). Lets say you get 5.6 degrees of knock at 4500 RPM. The DH will light up for you and thats it. The AP will allow you to adjust boost ,timing, spark advance etc .

If given the choice I choose correcting KR over lights.

The economy map is one of the most dangerous maps for the ap. It advances timing a ton and leans you out as well. The map notes also specifically say no high boost or spirited driving on the map. Real easy to get massive kr and detonation. IMO its not worth the risk. Just control your right foot n stay out of boost. I see 25mpg in 70/30 city/hwy. Plus if the mood strikes you, you can't have fun when on that map.

Yeah, agree here. my put was that you shouldn't have just one or the other. Certainly if a single choice had to be made "forever" then the AP is the only option as it is a full-function tuning device. The data log function in the DH is limited to ~6 PIDS, but the AP will log 10-12 or so for much better data discrimination for tuning. However, it only displays 1 PID real-time and it doesn't have the adjustable warning settings to attract your attention to your preset areas of concern. If you're going to mod your car, I'm recommending you don't do it "part-way".
