Trifecta Tune; How often should I Datalog?

I remember reading that just because your dialed in today doesn't mean it'll stay dialed in for the rest of the year. I couldn't find the thread so I just thought I'd ask.

So my question is if I'm dialed in do I need to worry about it anymore it should I datalog it again every season., twice a year, every oil change etc. Keep in mind I live around 5500-6000ft

Basically how often should I send Vince new datalogs

I don't have a gauge that'll tell me my A/F ratios, or fuel trims or anything yet. Soon but nothing yet.

Which brings me to another question; I still have my trifecta cable. Can I do anything else with it? Can I look at my A/F ratios or track my 0-60 or anything like HPT?

If you have the tactrix cable you can see your own logs with some free software. I don't remember what it was called though, maybe someone will post it.

Anyone know the name of some software that can use the trifecta "cable" and view our own datalogs? Right now I have to either record on my gauges or hook up my code scanner (it datalogs for a minute or so).

Nothing is going to change with the tune unless you physically change something on the car. Changes in temp will automatically be handled by the ECU. So unless something is wrong with the car or you modify it, you're fine with the tune the way it is.

This, you should not need to log again unless something changes such as exhaust, intake, intercooler, BOV, Turbo, Meth, Nitrous, e85, or whatever.
