yahyah I already know "LOL why you think you need a wideband on a stock LT1!?!?! :sCh_oscar2:" But I do need one to properly tune my car since I don't really DIG mail order tunes, AND nobody around here tunes LT's. So with a couple books, studying, laptop and a wideband hopefully I can get the thing running good again and get a 14:1 air/fuel ratio instead of the time bomb it is at now.

I have been between the AEM uego and Innovative DB and MTX gauges but looking for mixed opinions, reviews, more info to persuade my decision.

AEM uego (http://www.aemelectronics.com/wideband-air-fuel-systems-15/digital-wideband-air-fuel-gauge-25/)
Analog output?

Innovative DB (http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/db.php)
I dig how this has a black out when off feature. Digital output to tune.

Innovative MTX-L (http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/MTXL.php)
Built-in Direct Digital™ Wideband Controller reduces wiring and simplifies installation (No LC-1 required)
This one seems more simple and tuning friendly.


Each of them seems like they have advantages over the other but looking for an opinion on which one is best choice for me! I like the DB because of the clean look in my dash, but... MTX-L seems more advanced and tuning friendly, and the AEM is like a mix of both. hmmm

ps I think we should have a tuning section:klab:

can you enhance on the reason behind this? hahaha

Yeah, I was just looking at that today I'm not sure what Innovative uses for a sensor since they don't have it listed in the specs (???) BUT I know the AEM uses a Bosch sensor I figure thats higher quality.

I think I have singled out the DB. I would rather have a "lightshow" and digital readout combo gauge :klab:

innovative uses the junk 02 and i forget some other reason but I have heard nothing but the 02's junking themselves with the innovative.

I'm not a fan of the digital gauges because they are hard to read while going WOT. I run Dynojet gauges with the needle. Can read the position of it while going sideways down the road. I've had my Dynojet in the truck for 60k miles so far. Still works great.

I'll probably be able to notice the color bar sweep over a needle tho with my vision.
