Dynojet. Expensive, but top of the line. Allows you to log and hook up to laptop. Pretty dead on accurate as well.

FJO. For you guys that run race fuel once in a while this is the one to really consider. The Bosch LSU4 sensor will die a quick death with leaded fuel. With the FJO controller you are able to use both the Bosch LSU4 sensor or the NTK sensor. The NTK sensor is much more tolerant towards leaded fuel.

It appears the people that are votin for the innovate, like me, arent posting. I love my innovate in the Camaro and i jsut bought a new one to put in my DSM. They work great and look great if u get the LM! and XD1 setup. Awesome lookin gauge with configurable light colors for the range of the sweepin light. I know that is a horrible description but im tired as hell. Innovate has it down pat. Im sure all teh setups work about the same but this one looks great. It also has the light and noise to alert u if u go lean. GL man

Dynojet, mainly because it matches my other gauges.

WBC here too-gotta love the warning light feature-it can be a life-well engine saver. No need to look at the guage-all you'll notice is the light and you know it's time to let out.

I wanted the Dynojet gauge because it looks like the Autometer Sport-Comp stuff (and coincidentally is made by Autometer), but I wasn't willing to pay $450 for it. So, I bought the Innovate LC-1 with sensor ($200) and just the gauge from Dynojet ($100) and put them together. However, Dynojet/Autometer decided to use a 0-10v input on the gauge and all the other WBO2's out there are only 0-5v output. I had an EE friend of mine build me a box that uses and Op amp to double the voltage and it works great.

Yeah I had seen the differences and had thought about the same thing myself... A gain of 2 can be very accurately achieved with an op-amp and a few resistors. Since the output is not sinusoidal you don't need the negative voltage for the op amp, just +12 and ground. That makes it very easy to do... just thinking out loud.

Since you're speaking my (his) language, I'll add in that we included a comparator. I have a hardwire from the TPS that goes to the circuit also. The LC-1 has 2 outputs, so 1 is programmed linear 0-5 volts, while the other "switches" on at 12.5/1 A/F ratio. The comparator turns the warning light in the gauge on if I'm over 70% throttle *AND* the A/F is leaner than 12.5/1.

Sounds like the popular ones are the Innovative (which I already knew) and the DJ WB C...

I like the gauge on teh DJ also because it matches everything else I have.

Innovate lc-1. I had the xd-1 gauge but sold it since HPT logs the data anyway. Works fine for me. No real issues.

Good luck
