How many of you guys are using a wide band
air fuel ratio gauge, and do you run it all
the time or pull it after your dialed in?

Ok cool, looks like no one really uses them so
I won't worry about a group buy discount.

I have an LM-1 I used; learned a lot about tuning from it, but the car still does not run any better...

I still have a lot to learn...

I borrowed a friend's LM1 to dial in my motor, but I don't run it continuously, since it's not mine

I run a FAST efi system, its built in, and its just like anything else, if you don't know how to read it and interprete your engine's response to changes, your not gaining anything with it.

I run one and have recently tuned my carbs by seeing what the jet changes did to the A/F ratio at cruise and wot. They work well and in my opinion worth every penny if you are going to tune your carb or carbs for best performance and mileage.

I run an LM-1 all the time. I am always learning something new. I don't watch it all the time, but I check it regularly especially if anything out of the ordinary happens. I also log ever-so-often just to get a close look at what is going on.


Master, again and still

Maybe if you ask if anyone was interested in a group buy on a/f guage and O2 sensor you may get a better response, I kind of doubt there is enough interest though. People here are basically tight wads and this is too high tech for the majority of them.

bet you get a better reponse out of the race section


Allen Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first. Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

how much would it cost after a group discount? i plan on putting one in instead of shoving an o2 sensor up my tailpipe just for tuning purposes.

I run a FAST A/F meter all the time. You can record and also show both sensors' readout or single mode will average the two.

Other than free, what would the right price be?

Not quite sure what is being offered? Is this a brand that has been "tried and true", or trying to tap into the market? Does it offer logging? This a permanent or temporary/portable system?

I was going to see what I could get AutoMeter to
do for a discount for the site for their gauges.

I was thinking about picking up a WB AF gauge for
my car and was curious what others might think and
be interested in.

Just curious.

or if you don't want so high tech.

if you can see what kind of price you can get from autometer i am interested, especially after seeing the prices listed above.
now i have some serious thinking to do.
