The DataMaxx Data Logger is a complete drag racing data logger from hardware, to screen to software. We spend way too much money on our racing hobby to not have the proper tool to not only tune and maximize your engine but to also help protect it from costly damage. If you are tuning just off of the ET slip, then you have no clue what is actually happening inside of the engine or if you are consistent and safe.
The DataMaxx system allows you to easily customize a data logger for your specific application, and our modular system allows you to get into data logging at an affordable price yet easily expand when your needs arise. We utilize an SD Card for easy data transfer and our DataMaxx software is leaps and bounds the best drag racing data logging software. When you combine that with our touchscreen Pro Dash and its ability to customize warm up and launch screens, the DataMaxx data logger is ready to take your racing program to the next level.
The Pro Dash is a 10″ wide screen that can be panel mounted or easily flush mounted making your installation clean and smooth. With multiple pages you can have many different ways to view your data, such as a screen specifically for warming up and then one for launching the car. And our gauges ability to control the min/max, target areas and warnings allows you to truly customize your screen to give your driver the best chance to succeed.
Easy To Customize: Easy to create gauges with different looks and feels then arrange them any way you see fit. A special locking mode ensures you don’t accidentally move something while racing and day/night modes to control brightness.
Powerful Gauges: Set your min/max and target areas so you know if the needles are in the green and 12 o’clock you’re good to go. Custom color warnings for high or low conditions ensure you don’t ignore potential problems.
Multiple Pages: Swipe left or right to view different pages of gauges. Create one for warming up the car and one for launching the car which only shows the pertinent information the driver needs to have without overwhelming them with too much data.
Easy To Mount: The dash is 10″ wide and has mounting brackets that allow you to either mount it flat on a panel or to flush mount it making a much cleaner installation.
Backup Camera: Triggered when you hit the backup button or reverse, the first of its kind backup camera allows you to ensure you don’t run over anyone on the starting line or hit things in the pits.
If the software isn’t easy to use, and doesn’t put the data in a way that makes sense to you, then you will never get the most out of a data logger. As users of the DataMaxx software ourselves, we have spent years fine tuning and making the program user intuitive and as powerful as possible. We are always working on making it better and all updates are free to download.
At Computech, we’re not just a business – we’re a family of racers. While many companies in the industry are founded by racers only to be sold to organizations with little understanding of the sport, we take a different approach. Our tech and development is led by Matt Parlett, a passionate racer who competes in PDRA Top Dragster and Big Money Bracket races.
Alongside Matt, his son Rowan Parlett also races in PDRA Jr. Dragster and was crowned the 2021 PDRA Top Jr World Champion. Add that to a PDRA Rookie of the year award and a 2022 ECF Runner Up and Rowan has become one of the most competitive junior racers in the country. At Computech, we understand racing because we live it.
As racers ourselves, we understand that you don’t work on or race your car Monday through Friday 9-5. For that reason, Computech provides evening and weekend technical support through phone and text messaging. Matt also has the ability to take control of your computer and walk through things with you making it feel like he’s right there with you.
Our DataMaxx Tech Support page is filled with useful links for instruction manuals, diagrams and software downloads. There is also an extensive collection of video tutorials to help you walk through anything from installation to high level tuning.
Great entry level kit for someone looking to get into Data Logging without breaking the bank.
Great entry level kit with dual oxygen sensors to get the most out of your tuning.
Running injection or heads up and need to monitor each cylinder. This kit is for you with room to expand.
The professional kit gives you everything you need including 8 exhuast gas temperature sensors.
The main difference in hardware from brand to brand is related to the installation aspect. We do not have a V-Net cable system that requires each sensor to have a costly analog to digital converter. Instead, we wire back to our Main Module and terminate the wires yourself. Although this takes a little longer, it prevents wire loops and makes a cleaner looking installation.
Software is one of the most important aspects, because if the program isn’t easy to use, then it’s worthless. At Computech we have spent a lot of time fine tuning our software to let you focus on the aspects you need in order to make the right choices. And as racers using it ourselves, we are always improving it.
Technical Support is the biggest factor when making a data logger purchase. The ability to talk to a competent person on the phone in the evenings when you have time to work on your car, or need an answer when you are racing cannot be understated. Computech has the absolute best customer support in the racing industry because like you, we are racers too.
The first step is to plan out where you want your modules to go. For dragsters it is usually in the electronics area above the knees and with door cars somewhere in the passenger area.
Next install your sensors on the car. This will be different for each type of sensor you install but our manual goes into depth for each type of sensor on how to install it on your application.
Now that the modules and sensors are installed, we need to run the wires starting at the sensors and running back to the modules where we cut, strip and terminate. Take care to avoid ignition components if possible.
Now that the sensors are installed, we need to install the DataMaxx software and then calibrate the system so we know where each sensor is physically installed. Once calibrated you are ready to record and download.
