They all work.

AEM and Innovate are my favorite for gauge style.

NGK has one that is dual bank that works very well but has a different display.

FAST do a decent looking square box that offers dual sensors for both banks.

Likewise Daytona Sensors.

Although usually it'd be cheaper to buy 2 single units, PLX Devices stuff always good value.

Is there a lean or rich waring on that? Didn't see it reading the description. Looks very basic for $300. The plx or other brands all have that. An it's a rectangle so a pillar mount is out. I'm just saying that numbers flashing won't signal you to get out of the throttle if it goes lean suddenly.

Thats the most accurate wideband. The NTK sensor upgrade is a good choice. This is the wideband that most tuners use because of accurate they are.

Yes . I have spoken with 5 tuners and they all recommend this wideband. Specifically with the NTK sensor upgrade. They also told me how unaccurate the AEM widebands were. These were 5 tuners from different parts of the country. At least you know that the same wideband they use to tune the car with, is the same wideband that you race/daily drive with.

I have been running the aem for like 7 years. I cant speak of its accuracy compared to others. I would love to try one of these afr500 up against the aem to see if there really is a difference.

It simply works on the basis you are assuming the other bank is behaving exactly like the one you are monitoring.

It certainly IS $50. You have three versions to choose from. Production grade ($50), calibration grade($150) and lab grade($450). Any is better than the standard Bosch sensor......
