Do AEM widebands suck?
I have a big collection of widebands from over the years. multiple Innovate, FAST, Dynojet, multiple AEM, AFR500 w/NTK sensor, and a couple more. I have a AFR500 w/NTK sensor and an AEM 30-0334 on my dyno. Innovate was the only brand we saw issues with on multiple occasions. On the dyno my AEM matches the AFR500 within .1 all the time. I also change out my AEM sensor about every 6 months vs get a year sometimes years out of the NTK sensor. In the end its a tuning tool and no wideband is an end all answer. I know of several pro-mods with 8 innovate LC-2 in them, they are used for reference.

Just an update to close this thread, I took my new sensor and did a fresh air calc on both of my controllers. Put in the new sensor and issue was the same.. I swapped the new controller gauge in on the side of the road and immediately AFR was back in line during WOT, a bit rich at 10.5:1 on a 12GPH meth nozzle. But it’s so hot and humid here right now it probably is half the air and half having a brand new sensor. It was so damn humid yesterday it would take your breath away. Poured down the rain for about 5 minutes and then back to 98 degrees.
I’ll get a good log to adjust it sometime on my hour morning rides to work.
