Dave,  
I have a MSD-7, I have mounted it low and behind my engine beside the 
transmission.  I notice it has a big ground post in the middle of it---I havent 
used this in the past..should I?

In your experience how should I try to protect my data logger and EFI systems---

Maybe enclose it like a Faraday cage??
