Default safc and wideband useful?

hey everyone, i used to have a 3000gt vr4(still have trying to sell) but i have a few things i never installed into the car for one reason or another. 1. being an apexi safc, not sure if it would help considering we are talking a stock ls1 with just exhaust and a lid. and the other is a aem wideband, now that one im sure i could use to monitor afr, but why monitor it with a stock set up?

my final goal will be either an ls6 or ls2 depending on financing at that time.

all that being said, and now knowing my final goals. do i have use for these things or should i just sell them and put the money somewhere else?

thanks in advance,
Bruce

Sell the SAFC, and keep the WB if you think you can use it.

I would sell the wideband also unless you are planning on tuning it yourself

I think a wideband is a useful tool to have even if you dont tune it yourself. Im gonna get one just to monitor. Knowing if youre running lean is crucial if youre spraying nitrous.
