Larry,
Curt and I have been running the RPM software for many many years. We have had them in every car back to the early 2000's before it was cool, LOL. It is super user friendly, we have the RF enabled kit so we never deal with any data cards install or removal, just pull up beside the trailer and it will download automatically. It is easily expandable and we typically have 9 channels for a normal bracket car.

Also, you will get Randy's cell phone number and we have called him at 11pm on a Saturday night, 10 on a Wednesday night and any other time. He answers the phone and provides help on the spot. Customer service is tops in the industry in my opinion.

Freedom isn't free !!! Thank a veteran, they will actually appreciate it.

The Question is "User Friendly and Good Tech Support"?

I think RPM is the best answer to that question. That is exactly why I choose RPM because I am not the best with computers.

Now if question was what does most Top Fuel teams use? Then the answer may be Racepak.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

Does user friendly include installation? Unless they have changed that answer would ne no.

Nothing against these guys an or others but everything I look at, Racepak is still king.

I have an RPM on 2 different cars. I think they're great. Randy's only a phone call away and has always guided me through any questions even a few dumb ass questions.

EXACTLY and by a mile!

Further for those of us that race NHRA National events, Racepak is at every event and Todd Paton aka PDS is at many events and for TOP38 and myself, competing at NHRA D1 Divisionals, Greg Kelly is at most events providing the best Tech Support.

As for installation of the RPM unit. When I did mine you have to cut your wires to length then send them back to RPM to put the ends on. Yes that is a little more work but you end up with wires that are perfect length and cleaner operation.

For RP, One cable runs back to the unit, not a wire(s) for each sensor, how is that cleaner? In your opinion, OK, not in mine. It's a your car so your free to do what you want.

And we can call Greg anytime on his cell and he answers! when not racing at the same event.

Been running the RPM system for 10 years and the only problem I have had was pulling the wires out of the driveshaft sensor and that was me not the sensors fault. How many racepac sensors have you'll had to replace?

If you have reasonable electronics and pc skills , the first generation Edelbrock Quickdata is a open system so inexpensive to add sensors. I have an Advanced Box and a 4 input T/C box I’d sell cheap and my buddy has a complete Advanced harness cable. This system blows away the other big name brands in every area.
