Default Which wideband and why???

I have searched and searched, have found some pretty good inormation, but nothing really definitve!! Seems they all use basically the same bosch sensor now, seems most of the difference is in the controller/guages. So, what widebands are you using and why??

I think it's a matter of preference,

I have an Innovate, but that's what most everyone around me was using so I figured I would have Better luck if I needed help or assistance with it from people with experience.

Now to find the time to install it...

I am looking at innovate lc2 and aem 30-4110, seems like ngk or ballenger afr500 are "best" from what ive read, but those from what i can tell are even using bosch sensors at this point...so its not really worth spending damn near twice as much on!! Dont plan to run guage in a pod at this point, as nothing i have is FI, just more for tuning purposes than keeing an eye on it persay, if was to go FI i would want one on each bank...

I just use the AEM in mine and haven't had any issues with it.

AEM is hard to beat for the price. It gets the job done for most people.

I run a PLX DM-6 simply because I didn't want an A pillar full of gauges to tip off anyone what might be hiding under the hood, on the outside chance they could even see them

Plx is the only brand that has worked for years without a single problem for me

I've used 3 AEM setups now and had great luck out of all of them. Just stick with any of the name brand stuff and I doubt you can go wrong with any. AEM is just always priced right for my cheap azz.

I have owned a LM1, LM2, and LC2. The LC2 made me want to punch metal walls. Huge pain in the *** due to the grounding. Had many problems with it. Good luck with the LM1 and LM2.

I've used an LC1 since 09, it's glitchy and sensitive to grounds. The serial output is nice. Also use an AFR 500 with analog output and it has worked really well. It can use the Bosch or NGK sensor. It is very simple and does not have many features.
