Wideband guages

I was wondering who out there is using the AEM Wideband. How do you like it, how was the install, can it be used in place of a factory o2 sensor, ect... Also I was wanting any feedback with people with regular A/F guages (like autometer), how do you like em, and would a regular A/F guage work good if you have a bad fuel pump ect...(as I have heard they are nothing but light shows) I am just looking for some safety, as i already know my A/F ratio, and just wanted a guage in case i run lean. Does anybody know what is considered rich or lean on guages like autometer?


Thanks
brian

I have the Dynojet Wideband Commander and couldn't be happier with it. The gauge shows the actual A/F in real time, and you can configure the LED on it to light up when you want it to. (I.E. when you go over 75% throttle and you run leaner than 12.5 A/F, it's configurable in almost unlimited ways..)

I just recently purchased it too! Awaiting delivery. I'm happy to hear it's well liked, I was concerned after I did a little research and saw how many of them out there! Sorry 03 white lightning for hijacking post! But I will communicate how I like it and how difficult or easy install is!

That's alright, thanks for the post and let me know what you thing when you get it installed. If you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay for yours?

Anybody else?

thanks

Thanks, I will have to check into the the dyno jet.



Anybody have a regular A/F guage and is happy with that, other than a pretty light show?

later

I have a AEM Gauge and like it alot. Install will be no easier or harder than a Dynojet or any other brand. The only advantage I see to the AEM is that is gives both a sweeping gauge and digital readout. Its would be hard to have to read a gauge a tell wheither your at 12.3 or 12.5, a digital readout is much easier for me. The advantage the Dynojet has is it datalogs. I paid around $375 for my AEM.No you cant use the factory 02 Sensor, both AEM and Dynojet will include the bosch wideband 02 and a bung which you must have a muffler shop weld in. The Autometer a/f gauge is junk, it taps into your stock 02 sensor which only has a range of 12.5-16:1 a/f.
