Default Wide Band O2 sensor

If you are going to run your car on the Stock O2 sensors, what is the advantage of tuning it with a wide band O2 sensor?

To get the air/fuel ratio correct while tuning with HP Tuners.

It's so you can tune at higher RPMs.

If you're never going full throttle on the vehicle then you'll be ok with just tuning off the OEM o2 sensors.

But if you ever plan on going full throttle, then you need a wb sensor to monitor AFR there. The OEM o2 sensors will not be able to read your fueling at that point.

What happens /when you take off the wide band o2 sensor & run wide open on oem sensors after tune. Does it default at full thottle. or idoes it continually learning?

It applies whatever the last positive LTFT trim was.

Learning is done only when trimming to stoich can be done (in Closed Loop)... going to WOT enables PE fueling which moves away from stoich.
