For logging and speed, Ludwig has recommended these probes to me:

They also list another interesting one:

You'll need a convertor of some type though to allow the millivolts of the TC to be translated into a 0-5v signal for an ECU or logger to read. You basically have to choose between a guage, or logging though since there's no way to split the signal off of one probe to do both jobs.

The pineapple unit is good, I never had any real problems with it. I'm running two prosport EGT's at the moment though which are working well. Can't comment on their speed vs. a "true exposed" tip TC (Prosport TC's **appear** to be exposed, or what some companies sell as exposed) but they are faster then the pineapple unit, that is for sure.

Could probably do an Op-Amp circuit (which I plan on doing with my wideband), or running a conversion box to 0-5v then to an op-amp to split the signal.
