Default What wide band are you using?

I need your feed back. Nitrous outlet has been lacking in the wideband area for a while. We are looking at starting to stock a veriety of wide band controllers. What are you using and what do you like about it?
Thanks
Dave

Which ever line you pick, please make sure they offer one that records.
I used to have the AEM WB w. gauge, but later went to the LM1. and find that the record feature is well worth the money.

I am not using one yet,

but I would love to pick one up

the main features (in order) that are important to me are:

-ability to output to HP tuners for logging
-Price
-ease to mount the gauge (like the thin flush mount ones)

I am running the Innovate LC-1, my next one will likely be the Innovate LM-1 as I really like the idea of being able to move the unit from one car to another.

With the Vette a Fixed WB is great, for Tuning the Avalanche and later a 73 Carb'd Charger, I want something I swap car to truck as needed.

A quick way to find out what WB are popular would be to see which HPT and EFI support. If it warrants support of the tuning software, likely it has the support of the consumers.

I have the dynojet wideband commander. Really like the gauge in my pillar and the ease of setup with HPT. It has alot of features I never used, logging the biggest. Downside is the price. I have 2 years on the original 02 sensor, I am very happy with the durability and performance of the unit.

Dual LC-1s into my EFI-Live, also one feeding to my gauge. My vette runs open loop/speed density.

PLX Devices M-300. Have had one on my mustang for 2yrs and no probs. Integrates with EFILive, has a narrowband output which is nice if you just want to replace on of the exsisting O2's. Self-calibrating, etc.

FJO New style. Data logging, gauge output, and multiple units can be stacked and talked to each other.
They are also water tight and can be mounted anywhere.

I own an LM-1 with LMA-2 rpm converter .. Their tech support was vigorous when I called before buying. I have never heard of a complaint in that department.

I was considering trying this one out, after previously owning a LM1 (no complaints about it other than I couldn't find much info on hooking up the rpm cable to an ls1). I didn't know the outputs are not programmable, does just have 1 0-5v and 1 0-1v output then? Might have to check out an lc1.

FJO 2 channel here. I am sold on the ability to shut down the nitrous if it gets too lean or too rich. The data logging is great and the built in window & TPS keep things less clutered. Their tech support is great. I won't leave home without it.
Hey wait----you should know you sold the darn thing to me.

I haven't forgot you. I promise I will get those pics to you.

Innovative LM-1 and the XD-16 gauge I think it's called. I haven't finished putting it in yet or tried hooking the gauge up to a computer yet either. If I remember right you can prgram max and min settings and the color of the needle. The ability to program it to record other measurements that the LM1 or LC1 can monitor and switch out face plate colors and bezels are great options too.
