I'm about to get one. Trying to figure out how it all ties in w/ HP Tuners first. Or how to work it. The stock narrow band readings are not accurate what so ever.

i personally figured that it could never hurt to have this no matter how much mods you have. i just want to get some others opinions on it as well.

if you have a way to adjust your fueling then a wideband is really nice, the more mods you have the nicer it is. if your spraying more than a 150shot or boosted then it is a very good idea.

I got the DynoJet Wideband Commander from one of the resellers on their site. It integrates nicely into HP Tuners - as a matter of fact, one of the owners at HPT uses this very same wideband.

The dyno jet, is what Keith @ HPT recommended to me.

Nakid,

Could you give a brief expla. on how it ties in with HP Tuners? Did you have to send your interface cable in to be replaced. Curious on how I can get it red thru with my hp tuners. The new a/f table from 1.5 is neat.

Thanks,

Kyle

Kyle - Sorry, don't have it hooked up yet....waiting on some other issues to get resolved before I weld in the bung and hook up the WBC (WideBand Commander). Plus my laptop is acting up, so I'm not operational at all at this point. But AFAIK yes, you do need the new module to allow integration with WBC. There are lots of people talking about this on the HPT forums. Do you go there?
