using plx wideband and have had no problems. Stoich coincides with the narrow bands so i would say it accurate. I know the cars runs awesome so im happy. Its gonna be hard to know if one brand is accurate over another unless you run them tandem in the same car.

I've used an LC-1 for a couple years and it's been very reliable, both in it's operation and reading correctly. Recently, I've started tuning other people cars and have been using AEM UEGOs intermittently and they work well but I needed a custom PID with HP Tuners as the canned PID it can with was about .5 off to the lean side.

"For the price, this meter went toe-to-toe with the NTK and Motec. One of the best traits we found on this meter was the fact it can display EGT, RPM, TPS, Boost, Vacuum along with on five-volt reference all at one time. While we didn't get to test the optional inputs, the mere fact it is capable of logging these inputs at this price is incredible. Some of the features are additional options that must be purchased separately. Based on price this meter is the best bang for your buck".
Notes from Zetronix:
The Industrial NTK meter (not commercial NTK AFX) was used as a benchmark AFR Meter.
The tested Zeitronix LCD display had a pre production LCD screen overlay. Production LCDs have thicker and scratch resistant polycarbonate screen overlay.

I have the NGK AFX and it works great. Love that you're able to calibrate for basically any condition. It has the output wires to connect to hp tuners. I'll have it for sale here soon if you're looking to buy one.

I've used a lot of widebands over my years of tuning, and the one I like the best is my Innovate LM-2. I use a serial cable vice analog (did it with my LM-1 as well) to connect to EFILive.
