Best w/b setup for my needs?? Ok so far ive got
plx
w/b commander
lm-1
zextronics
basically id like to have it pretty portable since i plan on tuning others but not sure which one would suit my needs best...i figure the wb commander is out since you basically paying some xtra for the gauge itself, but out of the others im not sure which one to get...also do they already have the connector that will hook to hptuners or is this something special?
Thanks

The one that's most "shop meter -like" is the LM-1.
Cig lighter plug, wideband plug and the meter. You
pay extra for a dash gauges, auxiliary inputs cable,
and so on.
The wideband commander looks like it wants to be
hard-mounted, to me. I believe it comes with a
gauge.
I looked at the other two but don't really remember
much about them other than that they also looked
more like you'd eant to mount them under the dash
than use them in a shop environment.
I picked the LM1 myself based on the portable meter
form, and the self-calibration feature (which the
others may have, but didn't do a good enough job
of communicating if so).
Another note, I get emails from Innovate now that
I've bought one and they mention a LM-101. So
you might keep an eye on LM-1 pricing, I bet you
will see some price compression on the LM-1 and
in the wideband arena generally, before long. If
you search you can find some pretty competitive
pricing on LM-1s already, less than I've seen in the
GPs (like $314 for the base unit w/ all of the pwr / O2
cabling and the sensor).

I have researched it alot and finally come up with the best two in my opinion. The Dynojet for stationary and the LM1 if you need portablity. I personally chose the Dynojet cause it is a stationary unit and I would probably lose it if it wasnt. The LM-1 aslo needs a RPM converter (if you want to know what RPM your A/F is loggin at) that is not included. The Dynojet comes with everything needed. Both are really good units.

I have two installed, one for the left side of the engine and one for the right. You can get the M-250 cheap and don't need to worry about logging because HP Tuners does the logging for you when you hook up the WB to it.
