Great info guys, keep it coming
FYI, the newer Aeroforce gauges will allow you to pick several PIDs to monitor and it automatically scroll/switches between the ones you select. Also it allows you to pick several PIDs to monitor for warning lights... The newer ones have 2 warning lights that will go off when a value is exceeded...

That's pretty awesome...so one will cut it, I'm liking the idea of one wb and one Aero now.

I have the Aeroforce gauge in my truck. One of the best items I have ever purchased. Not only can you monitor data but you can read/clear codes, even while driving. It comes with a mini harness to add in an additional sensor. I may just do a wideband into this input.
I found that Maryland Speed had the best price. It had to be custom made, Silver face, Blue LED.

Next question, does anyone have a part number for a wideband? I think the right Denso sensor would work great.

Why have two widebands if you can't add fuel to individual cylinders? If one side reads 13.3 and the other reads 13.0 how can you make them match?

I think the idea of two widebands would be more to monitor if there was a problem on one bank, like the injector issue that Corey had. I'm leaning more towards one wideband and one Aeroforce now though, easiest, least expensive route.

Just a little add/info I was told by a tuner...

A 2002 VW Jetta o2 sensor will work of the sensor instead of wasting money on a complete system from Fast or Autometer or whatever. I dont know personally if it works, just have been told that...

We installed a Roush supercharger on a F150, along with dual widebands and a boost gauge. He already had an Edge installed for monitering the pcm. I'll post pics of it as soon as Photobucket quits screwing up.

The dual widebands did help us in finding and repairing a vacuum leak last week. My customer knew something was wrong(by the gauge on the right bank reading erratically) and brought the truck in right away. I can see an advantage of having two instead of just one.

Good info Roger, that's what I'm talking about...

Bought a lottery ticket for the 86 million dollar lottery today...if I win I'll be buying widebands for my NEW truck, Camaro, Corvette...maybe I'll put 4 in my truck....two behind the driver's seat so I can still monitor my AF ratio when I turn around to back up ...nah, I'll have the dough for a back up camera!
