Default Wideband 02

How many of you are using Wideband 02's with your nitrous setup?
I'm getting into it real soon and I'm thinking I'll buy a wideband 02 with a digital gauge from DynoTune so I always know what's going on and to play it safe but I was just wondering how many other people have one as well.

Dyno-jet Wide Band Commander here. A bit pricey but worth it for the piece of mind.

Monitoring my AFR though Flashscan/LC-1 one here and happy with it. I'm thinking of putting in a permanent AFR gauge, I'll have to see if I still like the LC-1 then.

LM1 WB here. Has the most options. You should really have one that logs, as it's pretty hard to monitor a/f when your doing 100mph plus.

That's the one I was looking at. I plan on making an order with DynoTune within the week. Get's a little costly, it's going to be at least $1500 for all the parts through them and they are cheaper than most places.


For everyone else:
Thank you for the responses, I didn't realize so many people used them. I thought more people cheaped out myself.

I agree with Robert on getting a data logger. Personally I like the build quality of the FJO product I own now.

I have the LM1 with the LMA2 and I love it. I can log all kinds of stuff, now that I have one I dont see how anyone could tune without one.

Innovate is the name of the company that makes the LM1 and LC1. The advantage of the LC1 is that it's compact and all the electronics are contained in the cable. You must however have a guage in the dash or a notebook computer to see your AFR, the good thing though is that you can use any brend/kind of AFR guage, even a cheaper one. To truly log the AFR with an LC1 you must use a computer. The LM1 is bigger, about the size of a large volt meter, I have an LM1 mounted in my center console. The benifit of having the LM1 is that it has a Lambda and AFR display on the unit itself. The LM1 can log up to 44 minutes of 6 channels of data including AFR and you dont have to have a computer in the car. Another advantage of the LC1 over the LM1 is it's half the price almost. If you want to log more than just AFR you must make sure you get the LMA2/RPM converter with the LM1 (mine cost $429.00 for both ) you can find them sold together I think at Dynotune's web site and on E-bay like this. The LMA2 has inputs for additional info like TPS, IAT, I even log my nitrous solinoid going on/off.

As for the FJO I've heard the guys that have them love them but it also has other built in capabilities that would conflict with my timing tuner. I hear the FJO has a built in W/S, well so does my timing tuner and that's my reason I opted to go with Innovate.

The Innovate LM1 is the most versitile WB out there. It has so many options and features. There is a dedicated forum for the innovate also, which shows it has more capabilities than we could post. Here it is for insight.
