Default wideband sensor question

ive been reading alot of flack about the innovate wideband setups and good things abuot the AEM and NGK AFX widebands setups.

innovate seems to have mixed reviews.
AEM is a bit pricy
NGK doesnt have some kind of selftest recalibration and comes with a non standard gauge design (not circular)

thats the what the negatives ive read alot about

I also was wondering about the Glowshift wideband setup?
they say they sell a LSU 4.9 sensor.
most of the others use a LSU 4.2 sensor.
whats the difference if any?

I really like my AFX. Yes, it's a funky box with big red numbers. But, you could hide it and run an external gauge off of the 0-5v wire if you wanted (I believe). I use that wire to data log myself. Either way, it's easy to calibrate, works well, and the packaging was very nice (not the box it came in....but the wires and connections that make up the kit).

I've also got an LM1. No real complaints about that one. It's pretty straight forward and more of a portable design. If I'm tuning a friend's car, it's much easier to run as a temporary setup. It calibrates just as easy, works well, etc. It's just a bit too bulky to be running in a car as a permanent install.

I would stay away from the Innovate LC1 and LM1
they fixed most of the issues with the LM2



I'll sell you my NGK AFX with sensor, and mounted in the Square plastic bezel that goes in the console....
$125 Shipped
sensor has about 3000 miles on it.
I love my NGK... but I dont have any need for it now with the Holley Dominator





Picture of where I had it mounted
it is now slightly modified...and does not look exactly like this picture
