You can get a wideband to work on Standard but Pro is a lot less hassle and it's what I suggest.

Any wideband works, just do your research. My actual sensor is the Bosch LSU 4.9 I believe and I use a PLX wideband gauge. I got it on sale last Black Friday for like $50 off.

Use the Ballenger motorsports AFR 500. It's the best of the budget widebands.

I order hp tuners pro my main reason for ordering was to advance my timing back to "normal" since I have 6 degrees pulled because of nitrous if I add the 6 back my car will run harder when not on the juice and I also have a timing adjuster that will pull timing when I activate the nitrous arming switch my question is how hard is it to learn hp tuners or at least just to adjust the timing while I play with it.

I use my wideband as my narrowband as well. Fairly easy to wire it as well. Just ground the negative and put the positive in to your wideband controller's narrowband signal slot.

You gotta slow your roll first man lol. Start off by doing a read entire and saving your stock calibration. To actually make the change you have to use the write calibration only function.
