why would you want a narrowband for? The reason why people use a/f guage is to tune their car. Typically means you want a wideband.

just get the wideband. I've heard good things about Glowshift, but typically the cheapest and most reliable is AEM UEGO. You can usually find those on ebay for around 175 shipped. Good deal if you ask me. And no, I don't have the zzp stg 3 kit. I'm planning on turbocharging my whip.

I'm assuming this is what you're talking about?

I trust those guys, so I'd say yes it's a good kit. Not saying anything bad about their tune, but having a wideband and a local tuner (that knows what the **** they're doing) can fine tune the pcm for your normal driving environment. ZZP gives canned tunes like everyone else here simply because they can't optimize their tune for EVERYONE's driving conditions.

it just depends on what your afr's are going to look like when you install the tune, and your fuel trims. That's why a wideband is necessary when you're tuning.

But it won't cause your car to blow up or anything. They provide a tune that'll get those 60's in line to work properly without throwing codes. But if you wanna optimize them, get another person to tune as well.
