DIY Tuning - Logging & Apexi FC

Hi Guys

I'm looking at getting into tuning and as I have a Power FC which is plug n play, thought this would be a good place to start. I am considering the FC Hako for the PFC but I have a few questions that I'm sure some of you that are tuning already can answer.
1. Anyone using the FC Hako with a wideband?
2. What resolution does the Power FC log at? Frames per second.
3. I read the maps are 20x20, but are the rpm increments adjustable?

    I'd recommend using an fcdatalogit, they can take a wideband in on one of the analogue voltage inputs. Rpm and load increments are adjustable, but I wouldnt recommend adjusting them. Generally you dont need more resolution than what the ecu has, as the load site blending is really good, and if you really have anything super modified, maybe a powerpc isnt the ECU you should be using.

    As for logging, if you use the fcdatalogit, i cant remember the logging speed for the excel sheet output, but with map tracer window is really effective, as you can easily work out where you were on your map, and check things like your knock values against the correct load sites.

    The FC-Hako can take a wideband on 1 of it's analogue inputs too, which is my intention. I plan to start on a standard engine (aftermarket intercooler and exhaust. With bigger injectors later), but ultimately I am looking at tuning an Autronic/Haltech on a highly modified engine.
    I think i read the rom increments on a PFC are 400rpm. I was thinking whether its advisable/beneficial changing the increments to have them closer for more detail at 1 end of the scale, and further at the other, with the ECU still interpolating in between. Also just curious why you might say a Power FC isn't the ECU to use for something super modified. What would you say is the worst limitation of the Power FC?
     
    I've looked all over the internet for any indication on the Power FC sample rate (for both running and logging), but can't seem to find anything. I want to know whether it's 5 samples a second (unusable) or 100 samples a second. The FC-Hako will log based on frames per second chosen in the software, and apparently older PFCs are slower. I also want to output the logs to txt file to review them on log reader or other charting software. And the map tracer as you say will be effective.
