Thanks, I'll do some more research to figure out what dashlogic knock reading is showing me. It shows me making 690 hp on the hp reading and I don't, so it makes me wondering about other readings it shows me. Hp takes in more than 0 to 5 volts input like readings that are just looking at sensors so there could be the problem with that. Just makes me wonder if the knock reading is in error. I'm new to the ZL1 and dashlogic so I have a lot to learn. My 1.19 firmware does not keep the info on my radio display either.

I also have Torque Pro with the knock app. I'll see what it shows.

I finished all my wiring in the ZL1 and it came out awesome! I now have manual controls over the fans, IC pump, future chiller comp mode and line lock master arm switch in the floor console. All in a custom panel which completely hides away. The line lock is controlled when armed by the cruise control cancel button via the switch link. The dashlogic provides the exhaust flap controls via the cruise control switch. LC-2 wideband is connected to the dashlogic and can be data logged with the SCT X4 from JRE. Dashlogic is also programmed to read out Injector Duty Cycle.

I usually have the HUD display Boost and AFR while the DIC displays IAT1 and IAT2. Next page has the HUD display IDC and Fuel Pressure and the DIC display Timing and KR. I have the Radio showing rear wheel speed (for consistent burnouts) and 0-60 time for a quick judge on the quality of the launch. Also have Baro and Air Temp on the radio to help gauge Density Altitude for dial in predictions. (Also have a Kestrel and computer program for this).

The best part is, there are no gauges, no random switches or holes in the car anywhere. All seamlessly in the OEM screens and customizable to display nearly anything! Someday it will display the ethanol content of the fuel when I go with a Flex Fuel sensor.

I have version 1.18 and it works great so far!

I only purchase the car a few weeks ago. I talk to the previous owner and he only installed a CAI and Magna flow exhaust and tune. I went by where he had it tuned and got a copy of the dyno run. Thats all I know of. I have taken it to dynospeed here in Memphis to fix and exhaust leak, I think I'll take it back and let them look it over and tune on there dyno. It don't hear any pinging from the engine but...... Dyno run showed 490hp and 490 tq. Had to take it to Chevy dealership to fix coolant leak, the one on the drivers side engine block.

Sounds like you need a good shop to look everything over and try to find the bugs...

Something just feels a little off to me.

Hopefully you can get it figured out.

How did you get the dashlogic to do all of what you said? I did not think that was possible,but I guess it is. Good read though and it has me wanting mine to do all of that. What is a LC wideband and where do you get that?

When I get a chance I will make a build thread and it will include instructions for stuff like this with pictures.

Innovate Motorsports LC-2 is a Wideband Air Fuel Ratio Sensor and Cable (controller) that measures the air fuel ratio and reads out in 0-5v that the Dashlogic can then display.

I think dashlogic sold out to some company I can not remember who but has anyone bought a new one lately to see if they have improved it?

You answered that while I was searching for it and found the answer. I hope it is going to be better even though I have not had any trouble with mine.I know some people on this site have had issues with theirs and wanted to sell them. I do not know if you can even buy one now so that is what I was asking if anyone had bought one and if there were any changes to them.
