    have you guys wired your data logger replay option, jus strainght to a toggle switch or has anyone used a relay with a toggle switch? the reason i ask cuz in replay mode it doesnt record very long(18 sec i think) and from my understanding it is triggered my the TPS% you set it at(after arming the toggle switch) but cant you trigger it too early by accident in the beams? maybe im over thinking this. i thought of running a relay between toggle switch and BS3 that interupts the power to it while im on the T brake, sorta like a NOS car when it leaves on the spray, hitting the t brake momentarly kills the power to the solenoids. like said maybe im over thinking this but im jus curious as to how everyone else wired theirs. thanks

    Sammy don't do that. It needs to see the arm wire at 12v+ BEFORE the TPS threshold. On the trans break you would already be 100% TPS.

    I have my tps % set at 50%. The switch is on the outside of the car and I have someone flip it when I hit the prestage beam.

    you can change the record time as well in the logging options. i think it will record like 40 minutes or something.

    A replay can only have a max of 18 seconds. A log can have a max of 30 seconds.

    You shouldn't necessraily go by the color of the wire. On my harness, it's yellow.

    There's a yellow wire on one end, and a pink wire on the other. It's labeled "pin a" in the instructions, but the plug doesn't have letters on the pins. So either one could be A. It turned out to be the pink one on mine.
