aem is the easiest to install and the lc1 is computer tunable. those are the two best.

Really depends on who you ask...many people have had issues with the LC1 and have since switched.

Alot of people use AEM,FJO,powerdex afx, & wideband commander and swear by them. Find one you like that will work with your application & go for it.

Sorry to jack the thread but how far away should the O2 sensor bung be from the cylinder head.

no, i mean LC1's dying for no apparent reason. Maybe fixed maybe not but I know of many people who had bad enough luck that they gave up on the warranty & have purchased a completely new wideband setup from other manufacturers. Not to say other widebands haven't had their issues, but there are other choices available.

I made it simple, just order a ZZP downpipe with highflow cat. Select the option with a extra bung for a wideband sensor. They weld it in the correct spot for you. \

I have a AEM wideband and I love it. Works well with the SS interceptor because you can show two other variables with the interceptor and use your AEM wideband for exactly what its for, AF.

I have an Auto-Meter Cobalt series wideband. I love it, it give quick reading, and had a good light display and read out. I didn't use data graphing with it, but I would record a run with both the wideband and the scan gauge, and I would tune the AFR like that. It took a little longer than normal, but it worked.

The Zeitronix is said to be one of the most precise and you can log EGT with it :

If you want one that fits the Autometer 3 gauge pillar pod, then get an Autometer Wideband. Auitometer gauges seem to be the only thing that fits perfect.

Autometer Nexus gauges also match our stock cluster very well.
