FYI, below are other data it collected...

Duration (total, idle, 0-45, 46-60, 61-70, 71+)
Distance, Avg speed, Max speed

Hard brakes (0.37~0.51g)
Extreme brakes (0.51g+)

Hard accelerations (0.28~0.42g)
Extreme accelerations (0.43g+)

Vehicle speed, engine speed and coolant temps are collected every second

wish it collected more data but i bought in primarily to monitor IAT...

Looking forward to that data with your upgraded heat exchanger and pump.

I’m thinking about a CarChip for when Johnny gets a license…and monitoring his top speed achieved.

Magnaflow now has both a cat back system and a full header back system. The part number should be showing up in their system in the next few weeks
