Default A/F Guage.....

Do I need an A/F ratio meter if I have the Stillen Stage III S/C. If so would this one: Click here be a good one since all my other guages are Autometer and I have one hole left in my Apillar Pod. It says its not for wide band, but do I need wideband?

Also, Would I need this accessory?: Click Here It says I MAY need it so I am confused

My understanding is that a/f gauges are not as accurate as uego widebands. If you want to monitor your engine better spend a little extra and get a wideband a/f.

I just got the Innovate with the LC-1. That controller can do too many things to list. Check out their site.

A lot of the shops that post here use the same controller to tune cars on their dynos also.

Yes I would agree with most people when saying a windband is the most effiecent way to go... I know alot of people using AEM and Innovatives widebands and both groups are satisfied.

that autometer AF sucks, its just for looks IMO doesnt give any accurate kind of read-out, Want a real AF, get a Wideband, there expensive, but so worth it. The AEM is good for a gauge pod the innovative is good for anywhere, best location is in the middle of the tach on the car, fits perfect.

+! That autometer unit is worthless, as its narrow band, and not worthy of tuning. Innovate wideband is your best bet: We have them on special for $349 shipped through the end of the year...just mention it in the comments section.
