I am pretty much computer illiterate. I'm not understanding how I can get or utilize either, Cosworth or Pi, in order to get all the temperature information that is critical to analyzing my problem?
How does all of this work?
Sorry for my ignorance!

Unfortunately, I didn't turn on the PDR on my most recent track day, which consisted of aprox 2 - 3 laps, but I did have the PDR on the previous trip to the track, but don't know anything about GM Cosworth Toolbox or Pi Toolbox. What is that? I sure would be beneficial to see all the temps
I did look at the PDR Video, but saw nothing.
Thanks,

Some other info....
some more....
Pi Toolbox has many, many, many times more information than the above and you can create math channels to look at info that may not be directly recorded. It also has graphing, etc. It's not what I would consider user friendly/intuitive but it is a pretty powerful tool.

The easiest option is probably find someone who can install software for you.
https://www.cosworth.com/motorsport/...worth-toolbox/ is where you get it. Then you'll use that software to examine the data from your PDR.
You could find a friend who can connect to your computer remotely but getting the remote connection working will probably also be a challenge if you're not comfortable downloading and installing software.

If you recorded any of the laps using the PDR, all the temp info is there. You can see it at a high level using the GM Cosworth Toolbox or you can see much more granular information via Pi Toolbox, also from Cosworth.
240* oil temp is nothing. I think I'd want to know more about the other temps before throwing $10k at the car. I'd also look at oil pressure, particularly if you were getting an "Upshift Now" light.

To get the Cosworth ToolBox software to run on your PC go to this link and click the download icon at the top to download the software: https://download.cosworth.com/downlo...r/GM/Index.htm It is free to all Corvette owners that have the PDR installed. You can copy the files on your SD card to a PC so it is easier to load the data into the tool. Files that have been edited or run through video processing software will lose all data except the video. When you have the toolbox loaded on your PC start the software and use the select a file icon to load the file with the data you want to look at.
Once the software is loaded you will see this:
Click on the Stats Icon and you will see this info:
Click on Vehicle Health and you will see your critical temperatures shown for each lap:
For your info, the max intake boost is a meaningless number from the SC standpoint. It reads that number with the ignition on and the engine off corresponding to the 0 psi reading on the IP's analog boost gauge.
