Default Best wide bands out there

Does any one have any opinions on the best buy. I've looked at the FJO type (Holly), the NGK and a Zietronix one.

I have used a PLX devices in the past and have an Innovate right now in my Lightning and they have both worked well.

I really like my AEM UEGO wideband..

I liked it enough to buy another one for use as my dedicated wideband for tuning friends and customers cars..

The NGK AFX line is one of the best affordable widebands out there. I like the AFM 1000 but it is 5 times the price of the units you have listed.

I would go with the AFX, they can be calibrated and the really cool feature is they have on board diagnostics so it will tell you why it isn't working properly. Plus, the AFX is within .1 air fuel ratio to the AFM 1000 if you get the NTK Sensor.

We can get you setup if you need.

Sorry just saw your post. I'm thinking 500.00 tops. I want one that can help me fine tune my N2 system (plate for now) We will be stepping up to a direct port. I figure by using a wide band and reading the plugs we can tune it.

I'm also looking for one that can interface with a N2 kit. I would like it to shut down the N2 if the system goes lean. The Holly does interface with their N2 controller. It isn't fool proof but can't hurt.

I was thinking of ECM's AFM1500, but it looks to be too expensive.

Zietronix by far is the best for that application. Check out the Alarm setup.
They have an option that if the car leans out when running n20 it will shut it off.

This was an early test without the N2O input


I added a 5v input so I could monitor when the N2O turned on.


I ran a MAF setup

Exactly what I was looking for. I'll give it a try. Thanks
