I just figure if you gonna spend the time, why do it for something so inaccurate?

We have sprayed 75/100/125 and 150 shots on Chingons truck and the A/F stays steady at 12.5 Yea right. Seeing stuff like that just makes me realize how innacurate the stock narrowband is.

I have seen a wideband 02 air fuel gauge on some website, would this one be more accurate??

EXACTLY!



Reason being is that the O2 sensors are a 1V sensor that does not offer enough resolution to tell you dick.

You want a Wideband kit that uses a 5V sensor.

This is by far the most attractive unit I've found.
