Nice. We used the infrared tire sensors for tire testing. We had the yaw sensors but never gleaned much usage from them.

To answer your question ... yes ... you can wire ANY sensor into a RacePak unit that utilizes the 0-5v range ... just like Race Technology. There are pros & cons both routes. Racepak already has all the connection options to tap into new car electronics. Just buy them & plug them in. That is the RacePak advantage that you're paying extra for.

If someone has the skills & desire to wire in their own sensors, the Race Technology unit is the way to go, because it costs less. As far as what they both will do, it's a tie.

The RacePak costs more because they have done the work for you to make their sensors plug-n-play. They are pre-calibrated & pre-wired sensors. Plus deeper tech support. Race Technology is a better value for the do-it-yourselfer with wiring skills, that doesn't mind the extra work of attaching ends & calibrating sensors through the software.
