Default Recommend a wideband

I'm getting really close to getting my carbed ls1 project car rolling and I'm getting a friend to help tune the carb. I want to get a wideband to get it dialed in the best we can, but I'm not sure on what to buy. Summit has an innovate lc1 and aem, the innovate for about $200 and the aem for about $175. So what do you guys recommend?

I get my innovate wide band from eBay for 150$ or so. Have got 2 of them and they work great.

Cool thanks. I don't have an eBay account so I'll give a call to jegs and see if they can beat summits price, I want their gps sender for a speedometer, and a speedometer while an at it.

A few of us went with speed hut for a speedo, GPS operated. Works fantastic and has multiple functions/options. Looks great as well.

Well I have a set of gauges already and I don't want to mismatch them.

I am a SpeedHut fan now for gauges too. Being able to customize the gauges appearance to match your styling is just awesome.

As for a wideband, I have the NGK AFX with the addition of a SpeedHut analog A/F ratio gauge. Adding the analog gauge was absolutely a great addition. With an analog gauge, you not only see the ratio but how it transitions and moves. You just get a lot more insight that way if you are not data logging.

I love the Speedhut gauges as well, they are just a bit out of range for now. Trying to get the car drivable, need wheels to fit the c5 brakes as well so trying to watch where I spend my money.

Nope, it wasn't too late. Just got off the phone with them and they're putting the difference back into my PayPal account. Thanks for the heads up.
