Earlier this year I bought a system from Inovate (the LM1 plus LM3).  
This does not have GPS, but does have high resolution oxygen sensor.  
It also has accelerometers, rpm and connections for other sensors.  I 
had some detonation damage a couple years ago so I wanted some data 
on A/F ratios.  It will record up to 45 minutes of data that I can 
later download into a lap top or PC.  It would have been nice if it 
had a GPS, but maybe they will add that as a module later?  The 
system is just under $600.  Joe(B)

I just bought one of the G2X Data Acquisition systems. I was so
impressed with the one I borrowed that i had to have one. Complex 
little
buggers, but you can put them into anything with no need for sensors
(though the system has a network-based sensor system that allows you 
to
have as many as you like). Most of the common sensors are not needed
since the built in GPS and the accelerometers and the tach connection
measure your speed, acceleration, and RPM. Probably the only thing I
would add is brake sensor and acclerator pedal position--but that's
guilding the lilly. 

they aren't cheap--just shy of $1000, but it is compared to the Stack
unit I looked at for my Radical (at least $4500, and that was pretty
bare bones) and it will actually do more. You can download the 
software
and play with it at

I'll let you folks know how it works out.
