I can do that but it will just monitor one cylinder.

It will only read one period.

I have yet to see one run faster in closed loop. Have seen several faster in open loop.
If the car is slow enough you might make it work. I haven't seen one correct fast enough to work all that well with even a ten second car. Usually ends up not consistent. Tried it several times, won't waste my time with it again.

I'm with Ed! I don't like my dial-in changing as I'm heading down the track. It would follow the air 2 runs then, change 3 a different direction.

I clamped the correction amount, and realized, what are you really correcting? Open loop it follows the air like a carb car and I understand that.

"Hal, what should I dial?"

that's funny. I've run the car in closed loop testing, with it data logging. Normally to target it to a specific AFR. But I'd never do that in eliminations

I started this post 4 years ago.
I run in open loop seems to work fine.
I have a quick tune feature that I can type the AFR ratio I want and it does the math to adjust. But after the run not while going up the track.

Always open loop unless I am trying to see how much the O2 sensor is correcting. Then I will make a throw away run in closed loop, make an adjustment and stick with open loop.
