A newb trying to datalog

[Mean98GT]

Hey guys I got an xcal2 now. Ive been doing some datalogging. I have all kinds of data but have no clue what it means. Anyone have any tips on what PIDS to log?
Then Ill log it and try to share the data for further explanation.
Thanks.

a/f, rpm, any temp is a good thing to log i'm sure there are a few really other important things.. but a good place to start is o2 sensors, rpms, and temp

a/f requires a wideband sensor, which i dont have. i have logged a few times already. I always log the coolant temp, short term fuel trims, MAF counts, rpms.
There are so many other things to log i just dont know which of those from.

you can datalog the o2 sensors what is your overall goal for datalogging?

Basically I want to see how the car is running overall. I want to see what needs to be addressed for a simple tune file. Im not looking to pick up rediculous power with a tune at this time, just get it running good.
