I am using a Zeitronix Zt-2. It can be displayed through a laptop, or as I do, using something like the DashDaq

The Zeitronix hard wires into the car. RPM, TPS, AFR, Boost, Fuel Pressure, and others are hard wired into the Zeitronix, either via ECU wires, or external sensors (AFR, Boost, Fuel Pressure).

The DashDaq has a separate OBDII hookup so you can read any item the ECU has.

I chose to hardwire some in to increase the sample rate (RPM, TPS, etc).

This is pretty much the goto for a lot of the SRT6 guys who are modified.
