You can chip your ECU with an EPROM that has a datalogging routine, solder in a datalogging cable, and check out pgmfi.org for programs and more details.

Assuming your EPROM has a datalogging routine and the checksum removed, all you have to do is buy a $25-30 datalogging cable and remove J12 from your ECU. The program will be free.
