I Have the AEM also & Love it. It comes with different faces & bezels to match most gauges. It does Lambda & Stoich. Has an output if you want to log and/or run as you primary O2.. Very simple to install... under 300 clams @ "non sponsor" JEGS......Hope it's OK to tell that.....

I had the LC-1, I do not recomend it. Confusing/conflicting wireing, grounding problems and the DAC will go out sooner or later, Order more than 1 if you go this route. Innovate says 7 day turn around, its more like 30+ for repair

I switched to the AEM ($250) as I needed somthing more portable. By far the easyest to install. Power and ground through cigarette lighter and 0-5V output for dataloging. Comes with a guage as well great for street tuning and safer to look at than your laptop when driving.

Two questions on the AEM unit. Does it fit in the stock O2 sensor location, and does it have a simulated narrow-band output, so that it can take the place of the stock sensor? I was looking at getting an LC-1 because it had these features, but they seem to be trouble-prone, so maybe I'll go AEM. BTW, AEM's web site was no help.

Yeah, I tried getting info from their site too and it wasnt very helpful. Sounds like the aem is the way to go.

I don't have the directions here, they are at work, but I think the AEM is made to/or has the capability to hook right up and fool you ecm that a narrow band sensor is in there. I'm not sure if it's the 5v output or somthing else. but I'm pretty positive that it does that. it comes with it's own weld in bung so you don't need to replace an existing o2 sensor....I Think it's cool going down the highway at cruising speed and watching it work, how the computer is leaning & fattening the mixture. It's nice to know whats goin on.
Oh yeah, and I found more info on Jegs site than I did at AEM's..

Don't know about the simulated narrowband output, but the sensor does fit in a stock o2 bung.
