how is it that get stuffed into the tail pipe that's used in a dyno?
Is there something like that that we can run instead of a/f?
thanks, Shane

Shane,

You install a 02 bung for the sensor before the cats if you have them. You don't stuff the sensor in the tail pipe. You can while on a dyno but a bung mounted sensor is more accurate. Arguments can be made that you should not take A/F reading after catalytic converters. With the LM-1 or like products you can power a perminant display off the hand held unit to watch your A/F ratios and data log them whenever you like.

The huge difference is this is a true Wideband 5-wire sensor vs a A/F gauge off your stock 2-wire narrow band sensors.

Can I put an 02 bung for the sensor on now and wire my air fuel gauge to that to get a better reading? Is there any gauge I can get along with the 02 bung that will tell me my a/f numbers like a dyno does?
thanks, Shane

Shane,

This is what you want, or something similar.

Click and READ

Very shortly I'll be able to data log RPM along with my A/F ratios and load it to a computer to be viewed.

NO, you can't just hook a 5-wire sensor to your Autometer gauge. You need a data interface device.
