Default Stock ECU Datalogging

What are people using to datalog these cars? I'm looking for something that can datalog parameters from the ECU; more than just the standard OBD PIDs, if such a solution exists.

I saw a video on YT of Emelia Hartford's twin turbo C8 and her passenger was datalogging using some software, apparently monitoring the AFR.

(Putting this out there before the inevitable: I know the ECU firmware can't be modified yet).

Any ideas?

HP Tuners, get the MPVI2 adapter, a laptop and the free HP Tuners software. Then you can use the HP Tuners scanner program and log anything in the world you can think of on the car.

That's what I thought, but I emailed them and they said it's not supported. Perhaps they only said that because it's not "officially" supported though.

It may be that the MPVI2 and the scanner app cant connect to the ECM or be able to get the data stream from the ECM. Our Audi S4 is that way, I can only log a couple of sensors on it.
