I run a LM-1 but when I am done testing I take it out and plug the pipe so I dont kill the sensor
Ran mine in the 5.7 for close to four years and 50,000+ miles....never affected the sensor

i run the lm-1 on the street. It uses a bosch sensor thats for a 1.8T VW that can be had at any parts store, plus the boschs come with a 1 year warrant so just get a new one if it ever goes up or replace it every year. the only problem i have had when it eats a o2 sensor is a super rich condition in the 9.0afr range or running a lot of race gas which if you are goin to run race gas all the time get the ngk wideband...all the honda guys that run c16 all the time run them. Or if you already have the lm-1 get the ngk sensor for it. just my 2 cents

I've had the LM-1 with the RPM kit for a couple of years now. Very happy with the results. It will teach you an amazing amount about your carb. I had thought that I knew a little bit about carbs, until I spent a little time tuning with the LM-1. I really didn't know squat. If you choose to take the time and experiment, then the wide band O2s will teach you a lot about the circuits in your carb.
But I think it will take a while to get the hang of tuning with it. And if you are serious about tuning, then I think you will need logging capability. The A/F is moving around all the time and quickly at that. The data logging allows you to analyze graphs rather than trying to watch the guage while driving.
Master, again and still
