NGK AFX you can also purchase additional wiring harness, hardware your vehicle. Then have a second harness so you can use your HPT & WB elsewhere.

I soldered what I could with mine. I'm pretty decent with wiring, but the install still took a lot longer than I expected. It's rather daunting when you open the box and read through the convoluted written instructions. Took it one step at a time.. The only thing you can do.

X2

fast has a inline unit that has the same out output as the lc1 so if your already configured in hptuners or efi live its plug and play 4 wire hookup. plus the lc1 gauge works too. ive had the fast unit for 2 weeks now not a single error code.

LC-1 is not that difficult to install. you just have to pay attention to the grounds. if you log with a serial cable the ground offsets do not come into play. not one problem with mine.

Had aem and hated it. I went with the lc1 and the install was a little bit of a pain, but well worth it. Id say they are both just as accurate. Tuned on the aem and lc1 with no issues what so ever. My aem wide band stopped reading after a few months. And I think the lc1 is overall a better quality.

Running the AEM on my car, like it so far, and as stated above, it pretty much matches the reading that are logged on the dyno as well.

I have the AEM but haven't installed it yet. They were both about the same price but had heard so much bad stuff about the LM2 that I went with the AEM

Using the UEGO myself. Can't complain and it seems accurate. Wonder how long the o2 sensor will last though I'd expect that to be a wear item.

The NGK AFX is made by ECM (they make some of the worlds most accurate laboratory widebands). I have NEVER had an error with mine, and I've had it for ~6 years, in NUMEROUS vehicles. Also is capable of reading as rich as 9.00:1 on the gasoline scale.

Just wanted to update. I love my AEM, it worked great tuning my car after I learned a very important lesson. Never try to tune your car with open headers and expect the wideband to be worth a damn. Hooked the exhaust up and it tuned on HP tuners and it worked like a dream.

I voted AEM. I've never burned a piston using an AEM. Plug and play too. Innovate needs to get out of the dark ages with their damn serial port bull ****.

This is better than the two choices given, but of the two to choose from.

The Innovate is pickie about the grounds and temp, but way more flexible for all installs. Because it has the serial port and can be reprogrammed.

The AEM is ok, but you might as well tune off a NarrowBand, with it's goofy analog output.

The AEM has a serial output also, for HyperTerminal, who has a computer with that anymore???
