Default Innovate Wideband

Ok got the wideband today. It has a big fat cable to go to it's 02 sensor that it comes with. I ran it up between the door and front fender, istead of punching another hole in my firewall, since this is short time -use basis, then it comes out.
I got the new sensor in, hooked it up, took the sensor back out, to calibrate it thru the meter box.
I was running 9.5 A/F in PE :\ which as you know is pretty rich.
After 15 minutes, the box showed an error code, sensor timing error 08.
I called Innovate Motorsports and talked to a gentleman named Klaus. He said the stock rear 02 hole that I was using is pretty hot, but they are coming out with an update for the firmware in the box(downloadable on their site) this week, that will allow the sensor to run hotter without setting errors.
The box will work again after the truck cools, and the sensor cools again.
The pain in the *** is, the sensor has to come out when you are not using the box, or it will burn up, not being on and hooked to the box all the time. So when I use it, I have to get under and take the sensor out, and put the stock one back in.
After modifying my tune twice, I now have it at 11.5 or real close thru the rpms till it hits about 5000, then starts going to about 11.0.
So I have it real close already
Worth the $350 just for that!
My PE is at 40 or 45% TPS(exactly when I see boost), and I have slightly negative Ltrims
Thought I would give everyone a heads up on it. Sam

Glad to see you're finally getting it tuned. Have you noticed a difference in power. 9.5:1 is VERY rich.

My sensor is the same way about leaving it plugged up but, I have my "box" wired up to an ignition hot source so it's only on when the engine is running. Couldn't you leave the sensor in and just have an on/off switch wired into the power wire of the box??

Yes it runs MUCH cleaner, more power.

About leaving it, I don't want to leave the box in there, so that is out I think.
I am in the right direction though

Yea, a 6.0 would be sweet, but unfortunately I am about tapped until I can afford a tranny.As you know, they don't like the new found power
What are you putting together now Parish?
