That works, I was thinking of those heat gun temp readers you can get at home improvement stores. You just shoot it at a target and it measures the temp, my father has one but he said it was cheap and only reads up to like 200ish degrees.

Yeah, i knew what you meant, was just offering a cheap solution that would actually datalog.

There are others sold by that same person that have multiple channels and don't really cost a lot more.

That's what I would do, get a 3 or 4 channel one and run those bitches all over my engine bay, then you can build an accurate model of before and after the hood.

Just use the car's reported ambient temp, subtract the ambient from whatever the under hood readings are and you'll have a (sloppily) normalized measure to compare before and after.

Might look into this, so it can log the data and I can download later?
It says on the page it just plugs in and reads out temps, so want to make sure I can run it under the hood & download at a later time.

It requires a laptop. It runs software on the laptop to record and save the data.

I figured it was acceptable since you're going to run ECU logging anyway. There are stand-alone units that are cheap as well, have to find them, gimmie a minute.
