Default A/F wideband Needed for nos?

Question is in your Opinion do you think a A/F wideband gauge is needed for running NOS? Im starting my list of parts i need to finish my NX kit. I have an A-piller tri-gauge pod, not installed yet.

i just ordered my nx setup, but from reading up and IMO you shouldn't "need" an EM until you get too 100+ shot. Its always gonna help , but for sure once you get higher shots.

Assuming thats why your asking about the wideband. The wideband would give you accurate A/F ratios so you could street tune, or dynotune with better accuracy. And know if your engine is suddenly going to blowup because your A/F goes way lean lol. hopefully that doesn't happen to any of us!

most ppl with around a 100 shot don't seem to be using AF guages...but if you're not planning on taking it to a dyno, you could spend the money on the gauge to ensure proper AF ratios while spraying.

even without the ability to tune the ECU, you could still tune by changing jet sizes until you get the AF you're looking for...might want to get one that actually records the AF data. (It'd be hard to watch the AF gauge through the entire RPM range while driving hard)
