Racelogic is in the UK. I bought it from Woodhouse Viper, One of their distributors in the U.S.A.

Ya I saw they are the only ones. Was thinking about calling racelogic and getting set up as a distributor. Did you calibrate your ABS sensors etc yourself? I see you need an osciliscope. How were the instructions that came with it?

Very nice. Thanks for all the info and pics.
You do realize these are not legal for any form of competitive drag racing?

Vito I have a convert ,competitive drag racing is the last thing I will be doing with this car.
I'm just trying to save my *** from a wall if the tires break loose when I least expect it and also to be able to accelerate through the first few gears at WOT without feathering the throttle.
I'll be getting back to the install soon enough.

Hello there Peter from the land down under,

It's nice to hear some more positive feedback on the Racelogic unit.

I do not have it completely installed and tuned yet to give anybody any feedback because of the load of priorities that are consuming my time at this point.
The biggest being getting my shop up and running while building engines for people on the side.
I apologize for keeping you all on hold and starting this thread before the installation was completed.


Sincerely
Perry

p.s. Peter if you get yours installed/tuned feel free to add your experience to this thread.

I look forward to the plug-and-play version for the rest of us. Looks like a winner.

I have the front of my car apart . When tracking my car I had overheating issues after a few laps.
I had combined radiator engine oil cooler.I am fitting seperate large capacity oil cooler behind bumper. I have removed the styrene on the left side of the car and fitted an oil cooler there..I have also upgraded injectors to 60 lb .Latest dyno run is just under 600 hp at rear wheels. At this output we are having trouble keeping traction on rollers.
I will post some pictures and more information about the racelogic system in about 5-6 weeks when I get everything back together. It is winter here in Southern Australia now , hence the lack of any urgency . STAY TUNED!!
PETER.

Any progress on Perry's car or Peter's car???

I am anxiously awaiting reviews on the product...

I am in the process of building a street-legal track car for spirited fun on road courses... I have a naturally-aspirated big block chevy with a Hogan's Racing manifold with a Big Stuff 3 ECU with MSD equipment.

I am interested in either purchasing the Traction-Control option for my BS3 ECU or go with a stand-alone system like the Racelogic system...

UPDATES PLEASE!!!

I'm beginning to wonder if this system is usable in the 'real world'. Several threads have been started, lots of hype, but no follow through on a functional and successful install.
