Default quality of autometer wideband O2's for tunning?

I really like the look of the cobalt gauges but are the autometer widebands worth a damn when tuning with efi live? Or should I go with AEM or a different brand?

I have no experience with the Autometer WB..... but have been using the same AEM UEGO wideband for 7 years now. No issues and reliable as ever.

For the money the lc1 with a gauge is hard to beat and has a ton of features. The sensor is readily available at just about any auto parts store. I have been using a lc1 and a lm1 since 2005 with no issues other than replacing the occasional sensor.

I also went and bought the Autometer wideband... analog Sport Comp gauge style 3370. From what Ive researched, there are much better options out there. But if youre **** like me, all the gauges need to match. The thing about the Autometer is the output is 1-4v, so youll need to calibrate the EFI live properly to read the signal. In the Autometer directions, they give you the formula they use to calculate the AFR @1-4v.

Im going to get it all hooked up and give it a try hopefully soon. If it doesn't work out, my plan is to buy an LC1 for tuning purposes only and keep the Autometer installed for day to day driving monitoring. That and Ill be able to move the LC1 from car to car, so that would come in handy too. At ~$150, its not a bad option if, like me, you MUST have the gauge match.
