"Oh wait, this has pump gas in it? OOPS!"

I would not take more car to get tuned to anyone who charges less then $350 and its carbed........

People larn the hard way when they blow up and the tunner says "sorry, have a nice day", or the car runs rich and runs liek crap.

A BIG one your narrowbands only measure lean or rich and it's a rough guestimate. You can get away with it and anything under highload but I wouldn't do it. So anything WOT you can't touch without a wideband or be ready for a bang. Wideband will give you a much more accurate measure of the AF ratio.

I wouldn't touch a car trying to tune it without a wideband personally. I like having a good measure of how close I am to melting **** at all times.

The tune difference on bolt-on cars won't even be noticeable. And gaining 100hp on a tune in a Ls7 is laughable. This thread is so full of ****, it was fun to read.
