I like like the look of this guage. However; I prefer the datalogging capablities and Software of the PLX M500 series best. PLX also sells an NB-> WB guage adapter (which can be used with an Autometer or even a DEFI-D "NB" guage acting as a display) The Defi D look integrates best with the OEM dash IMO.

I am leaning towards the products from Innovate Motorsports.

Check it out. The software and datalogging capabilities are amazing.

I love the idea of a narowband to wideband converter. Is PLX the only ones to successfully do this?

I haven't actually tried it yet, but PLX beleives it'll likely work with any 1V NB type guage, you always have the integrated
digit display for total accuracy.

Yes the logger capblities are sweet, I just don't like the look of the guage old or new appearance. If the new guage looked like a DEFI-D , I'd be all over it.

I have one, I like it a lot, I have been three diffrent dynos, x2 dynoJets and x1 Mustang. The DynoJet WB has been very colse to the linear figures of the dynos. The loging feature is easy to use for road tuning, with lots of options.
I don't like that in the gauge pod it doesn't match the Defis.
I think you would like it Cat!

Hmm I like the look of this gauge. Call me old fashioned but I prefer analog to digital readouts. If the software is as good as the Innovative stuff I may have to change my choice. Sharif can you source this gauge? If so what price could you offer.

If your going to be using the gauge for road tuning an analog is always best for fast changing values. Digitals are fine for static or slow changing values. I use the WBC on my turbo bike for road work and it matches the dyno sensor exactly. It also logs.

If it datalogs, would the analog vs. digital really matter? BTW, they claim they are releasing analog in the future.

Depends on how your going to use it. I find it simplest to tune cruise conditions just by looking at the gauge. For sweeps through a throttle setting I use logged data. For working on transitions the gauge again works best for me.
