You don't really need it. If you had a custom tune though I would invest in one.

I don't think you really want to know how rich the stage 2 tune is anyways. lol

If it blows up on the GM tune, the ball is in their court.

Because you want one and it looks cool. You do want one don't you?

I don't want one and dont have any engine mods.

An AEM Eugo Wideband purchased bran new via www.ebay.com runs for roughly $200-220 shipped.

If your on GM stage 2, don't bother. If your planning to custom tune your car in the future; a wideband should be one of your first purchases.
