Outside of the in-car temperature gauge, I don't really monitor anything. Although I have access to the ECUTek info, I only ran one event with it and it was about 60F out that day. Didn't figure I...

I've searched all over and can't find an answer to this, so we'll see if my course of thought is correct.
