XCal2 Tips? What parameters to log

[04SilverSerpent]

I'm new to logging with the Xcal2...i've looked at the various parameters that can be logged. Can anyone give me some help here? I'm looking to log Injector Duty Cycle, Fuel Pump Capacity (ie how hard is the fuel pump working), Throttle Position, Intake Temps and a few other things.

I'm assuming that "Spark" = timing and obvious parameters like "Coolant_Temp" and "Vehicle_Speed"under the environment heading, "RPM" under Misc heading.

Can the XCal2 log boost at all given the car has a built in boost gauge or do you need a map sensor for that? I'm also looking to have my wideband configured so that I can log a/f as well. Anything else that I should consider when logging?

Thanks,

coolant temp
spark
load
fuel pump duty cycle
alternator voltage
rpm
intake air temp, you want IAT2/MAP, but I don't recall the exact parameter name.
throttle position absolute
short trim fuel bank 1 and 2 or it may be bank 0 and 1

I know there are a couple others, I don't recall right now.

Thanks..i'll have to look again for the fuel pump duty cycle as i didn't see that last time I went through the different paramters.
