iDash DataPro vs $80K Datalogger – Banks Proves the Value
At Banks, we take data seriously. We have more instrumentation in one dyno cell than most companies have period, and while we’re not afraid to spend money on good equipment, we found that our own iDash DataPro was outperforming our $80,000 engine dyno datalogger, so we got rid of it! If we trust iDash with monitoring 1,000-plus horsepower racing engines on the dyno, what can it do for your truck?
Why It’s Better:
- Hundreds of datapoints available, many exclusive
- Available datalogging in Data Pro model
- PedalMonster and Derringer control

00:00 a lot of guys talk about on Facebook I see you’re running your idh data Monsters uh from out of a truck you know these are logging everything that we’re doing in here these are the prime gauges those aren’t other than cylinder pressure so we got rid of the $80,000 data loggers
00:25 and went to the $400 nominal Data Logger these guys are doing heavy lifting all right let’s turn off the data logging I can’t wait to get my hands on that micro SD card data logging off it’s mine
The iDash DataPro demonstrates why Banks continues to lead in performance instrumentation. During dyno testing, the iDash was benchmarked against an $80,000 professional datalogger—and outperformed it by providing more datapoints, faster updates, and exclusive parameters unavailable anywhere else. Capable of monitoring over 100 sensors simultaneously, the iDash DataPro delivers the kind of visibility that professional race teams rely on, yet it’s compact enough to mount in any truck cab. Whether monitoring boost, EGT, transmission temps, or custom sensors, the DataPro gives enthusiasts unprecedented insight into their vehicle’s performance. The added capability to datalog sessions makes it invaluable for tuning, troubleshooting, and ensuring reliability under load. Integration with other Banks products like the Derringer tuner and PedalMonster expands its usefulness, giving drivers not just data but active control over their setup. If the iDash DataPro can be trusted to monitor 1,000+ horsepower engines on the dyno, it’s more than capable of protecting and optimizing your daily driver or tow rig. Banks has effectively put race-grade instrumentation in the hands of everyday truck owners.
