Default Wideband

Long story short. I did a cam and head swap and took the car to a tuner, and things did not go well (left with nothing having been done.) So I am looking at getting HP Tuners and learning to do it myself (still debating this.) Planning on getting the tuning course with it.

I have been searching for info on whether a wideband is something that is a must to have, or if it is just for you pros. From what I have gathered it really increases/betters the data you can gather. All I plan on doing is tuning for the cam swap, and little things like injectors, gears, and such.


Now the PCM does have a basic tune on it from a shop tuner, does that cause a problem?


Sorry for all the questions, but I figured I might as well ask people that are in the know.


Thanks

In my opinion a wide band is necessary for wot tuning. I wouldn't do it without it. If you are going to tune yourself, get a wideband.
