I quite like the look of this:
http://www.gtechpro.com/egs.html
Its $300 for the tach and another $230 for the wide band add on?
i was going to get one of those but i ended up getting the LM1
I also Like that setup and posted up that system awhile back with very little response.  
same here. apparently, no one uses it and i didnt want to be the guinea pig
as for the LM2, the forum there has lots of unhappy people usingit. theres lots of bugs with it (or there was).. thats why i went with the LM1 (ebay) and im very happy with it
check out the attachment. its a jpg i made from the log file and added some data point

i just looked at the INOVATIVE web site and they dont list the LM-1 in their product page,is it still available or is the lm -2 a replacemet?
LM-2 is the replacement. You needed a serial port for the LM 1 to work. The LM 2 connects via USB.
you can get a serial to USB cable from radio shack that can hook your lm1 to a usb port. im using one right now

Do these sensors work if I run leaded race gas?

From what I've read, lead trashes the sensor. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong on this point.
And thanks to everyone who has posted on this. I'm considering a system seriously, but haven't made any decisions on brand, single vs. dual sensors, etc.

I run my auto meter directly in my x pipe, might not be the perfect spot but it works. Is as basic as most say...weld in the bung tilt it up a bit, if all is cold let the unit preheat until you fire it. This is a simple vid, not worried about ide ect...just wot but with a six pack and spray its needed. Im surprised for the minor cost 3-4 hundred more people dont have them... Dont be afraid of the wide band units. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JjBce4OyxoWOT wideband test.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Za7lfxoDFc

Most the ones ive seen all have in the instructions where they would prefer to see them placed, then you got to sort it out. I was runing one in each side but its overkill for me. You could alway but a bung in each side and swap from time to time, if all is equal????? My X pipe is very near my headers so all worked ok. Im no expert, this is just how I did mine, and it works pretty good. Quote:
I just ordered the Innovate DB gauge kit($229.00)Summit.
My car has tti headers on a small block with full 2 1/2" exhaust. Where is the best place to install the single sensor?
Good info on this thread

cant say for sure. i looked on there back in april when i was looking looking to buy and i saw all the problems and went with the lm1. i had borrowed one from a friend and it worked so i went with a known unit vs an unknown with lots of bad press.
if they fixed the problems, that would be great. maybe an update is in the future.

I've spoke to a few race guys who run the FAST and Innovate stand alone systems. They run leaded race fuel but change the sensor every season, a couple are blow thru turbo VW guys. The only real difference, I'm told, is the response of the sensor. The units calibrate themselves every time they are switched on as far as I'm aware. Another tip they told me was to mount the sensor at least 12 inches from an open header end as the turbulance can give false readings. I'll post results as soon as, but I'll have to fab fancy header extensions as the ends are close to the 'box crossmember / mount. I'm also ordering an extra sensor mount and 2 bungs. Thanx
