Opinions on widebands?
 
Looking to pick up a wideband to monitor AFRs and there seems to be a ton. I already have two 'Pro-Comp ultra-lite' gauges for FP and Boost, but have heard from numerous people they don't make a good AF gauge. Don't really care if the gauge doesn't match as it won't be put in a similar spot, just want to keep an eye on AFs accurately. Suggestions?

AEM UEGO is always good, I personally prefer Innovate though because you can datalog with it.

can data log with aem uego as well...wtih SCT xcal tuning device...just need to wire up to 0-5 analog output of the WB to a firewire cable or 2.0 usb cable and then run SCT Live Link and datalog the wb right alongside all the other PIDS that you want to datalog.

Do those come with a mount or do I need to get one of those as well? Is the a single gauge pod that fits well on our trucks. My other two are mounted in dash independently.

You can datalog with any of them.

The innovate and aem are the most accurate, the innovate being slightly better because of its response time.

The wideband commander is good too and comes with the best software for datalogging out of all of them.

The autometer is like the AEM but has a couple extra fetures.

Out of all of them, the aem is the most dummy proof.

You need to get a mount.

True, I just meant the Innovate is plug and play, no wiring needed.

Aem only because it requires no calibration...

Oceanside78 10-23-2012 12:10 PM

Didn't even know you had to calibrate them. What's that entail if I went with something else?

BigdaddyDupree 10-23-2012 12:10 PM

I have the wideand commander its bad ass

That was not the case with my XD-16/LC-1 and Xcal2 setup.

You can datalog with the LC-1 directly on your computer.

It's very simple, you let the sensor hang free in the air, hook up a couple wires and hold down a button they provide.

In order for it to be logged with the rest of the data that the handheld software logged the info had to go through the handheld first. It was kind of a pain in the ass but I made it work.

Oceanside78 10-23-2012 12:26 PM

Great info so far, thanks guys. I guess since there's so many that are of quality, I can pick and choose. When can I find a gauge pod for it? It's going in an 02 Harley F150. I found some universals but don't want to drill holes in my pretty dash lol

I've only used the aem, but it worked perfectly. Several friends run the Innovate and they all like it.....

I have ran several of the lc-1 and aem. I just prefer the aem because there is no calibration.

The offset also was always better with the aem even with same wiring and same logging software.

Offset? What's that pertain to? I have a feeling there's more to a AF gauge than just an AFR readout that I don't know about...
