I'm looking at getting a wideband but I don't know much about them. I would think all I need is a basic gauge without the ability to data log or connect to tuning software. I'm not even aware of any LT1 tuning software that has that ability. Can I pretty much get away with going with the best looking gauge? Somebody school me on this.

 

Got the fast wide band that has dual input, playback and i believe you can hook it up to ac pressure switch to data log. I have mine mounted like a gps up by headliner

 

Paid around 400?

 

I have this one mounted in the middle AC vent. There is a write-up about changing one of the other sensors (AC pressure switch?) on C.A.T.S. Tuner for logging the serial data from the gauge.

 

I've got a few picked out based purely on looks but I'm not sure if the higher priced ones are worth the money.

 

I have an AEM UEGO on my ricer that I am happy with, and it has the output wire for datalogging or separate hardware. I can actually plug the gauge output into the piggyback that connects to the factory computer and use it to auto target a specific AFR for basic self tuning...wish LT1s had something like that!

 

For OEM engines / daily drivers / low budget racing the AEM $150 sensor/gauge is both reliable (when installed in the proper location i.e. away from the turbo) and looks decent ( easy to read ) Its also great because: no calibration

 

My motor is far from OEM but it is NA for now but will run nitrous in the future

 

AEM on all my cars. Good value. No logging, but that is what the output is for.
Lead gas kills the sensors fast, but that is pretty much a rule for all.

 

another AEM UEGO here works great, have it wired into the A/C pressure sensor so I can log with it too
