I have had both Af and EGT systems. IMO the Af should be the primary sensor. EGT can be affected by alot of variables.

EGTs have been around a long time nd have been used in the past for tuning. Now if you look at serious race cars..alot ar going to widebands in all or several primaries for control and feedback. Some have widebands and egt.

When I had my 8 EGT datalogger I would go with AF as the primary tuning tool first to get the entire motor where I wanted...then I would scrutinize the EGTs in each primary to see how far out of whack any single cylinder was. Then brig them together...all the while keeping Af in the target area.

Having both EGT and WB Air/Fuel is the best and safest way to go.

Yes, but if you can swing it go with the wideband. Then you have a guage that you will be able to tune to as well.
