Wideband. I know you trust your tuner, but it doesn't hurt to keep an eye on things yourself.

my tuner really wants me to get a wideband, to the point where he will not attempt to tune my car if i drop below the 2.8 pullley or do much else to the car.

umm, i dont think so, he just hooks his computer into it, he has told me that he normally tunes cars more aggresively then he has mine but without having a wideband hooked to it he only wants to do so much to mine.

Especially in the colder months when it will run leaner and especially because our pcm's have multiple personality disorder . Its nice to beable to relay accurate a/f ratios to your tuner if you need adjustments made .

Wide band .....

then

cooling

But there are plenty of guys with sub 3" pulleys on the stock cooling . Whats the point of tuning for the cooler air charge if ya cant see how changes effect the pcm ?
