Or if some nob has put vernier cam wheels on factory cams..... so thanks everyone. I've learned a bunch!

Nothing wrong with putting adjustable cam gears on stock cams. You can make power, shift the power curve.

but interested to hear opinions and stories from those with Datalogits.....

If you are hiring a professional to tune your car and don't ever want to datalog maybe with a wideband o2 or egt (or any other 0-5v sensor) and don't ever want to make changes on your own then you don't need a datalogit. If you are going to tune the car yourself then you need a datalogit. The hand controller is incredibly tedious to use to make any sort of significant map changes. There are many settings you cant change in the controller and you can do things about 10 times more efficiently and quicker/easier with the Datalogit. You can view fuel or timing maps in 3 dimension graphs to visualize things, you can copy the table into a spreadsheet program (openoffice or Excel or whatever) and apply a multiplier to make quick changes across the board (or just to a few cells or however you want to do it). Just a few examples of why it's necessary if you plan on doing your own mapping.

have not ordered D-Jetro - cannot be bothered and I'm not intending to make enough HP to warrant removing the AFMs. It will always be a street driven car. However, I can always buy the D-Jetro kit in the future if I change my mind. Next purchase will be the boost control kit for the PFC to replace the Blitz Dual-SBC controller, then a Datalogit if someone can convince me it's worth the $$$$..... then turbos.

I would take Z32 over the d-jetro and as a street car you will have no need to convert. However you can't just buy a D-jetro kit you need a whole new ECU. What's wrong with your dual SBC controller? those are great
