How much does it bounce? Sitting at the start line mine varies from 9.56 to 14.51. Pulling down the course the trace can go from 13.00 to 12.69 in a half of a second. The trace is not a line on the graph but a fuzzy band about .3 wide.
It'll go from 9 to 17 to 14 to 12 to 19, all within a couple of seconds, constantly jumping regardless of load or throttle position.
Ground is solid, BUT, it is grounded to the same ground bolt as the coil - albeit on the other side of the firewall. It is shielded, but yes, proximity can have a huge effect on inexpensive electronic devices.
As to data logging, I'm using the XDI 2 ignition, which can record sessions if the computer is hooked up, but I haven't been able to get it to save. I can observe knock and if I wire the A/F sensor to it, I'd be able to observe that as well in real time, but the record function has been problematic since the second chassis dyno session last September.
Many of these issues have been overlooked because the engine spends more time on the engine dolly than it does between the fenderwells. The last year was spent developing the engine as a subsystem, rather than the car as a unit, so the chassis related engine issues, such as the A/F gauge and the logging issue have gone unresolved.
