Default Just to monitor

I just bought a wideband O2 sensor for my car. I dont do my own tuning but i want it just so i can monitor where the car runs and make sure it is where its supposed to be. I also bought those interceptor gauges (400). Did i just waste 300 bucks? (just lie and make me feel like i didn't waste more money j/k)

not a waste, but you should compliment your investment with a tuning package:

A tuning suite will get the full potential out of it...

Which Wideband did you get? So long as you can record the data (either in the wideband itsself or on a laptop) then the data could be useful if you wanted a mail order tune... it's also good to monitor in case you notice the car going way too lean you can get out of it...
