Plx Wideband. Opinions needed
Plx Wideband. Opinions needed Just bought HPtuners and was curious to see if anyone here uses or has ever used a PLX wideband. I am going to buy a wideband soon, but not until I have the money in hand, that is why I'm not going with any of the ones currently on sale.

Been running a PLX-300 for almost a year ~12k miles. Good stuff. Accurate. No need to calibrate in air.
The only thing I wish it had was the ability to change sample time. In otherwords, it updates so fast that the 0.0X digit is almost worthless for viewing on the display. This doesnt effect logging with HPT.

He's saying its response time is very fast, and faster than he can see the changes.
I guess its like you buying a stopwatch that reads in 100th of a second. They are there, but you cant really see them.
And anyway, if you have the ability to tune your motor to 0.0x of an AFR point, then you are pretty damn good.
The PLX works, plain and simple.

Looks like I'll be purchasing a PLX unit pretty soon

Yeah, sorry if I wasnt clear. The plx is great and I'd do it again. I considered getting the non-display one and add the analog gauge. But decided to save my money. If you only use the w/b with HPT and never as a stand alone, then the display isn't necessary.
Want to add that the plx support was very helpful answering my questions using alternative stoichiometric fuels.

What's the benefit of having the analog display over digital readout?
I've had the PLX M-300 for about a year, using it with EFI Live. It is a good piece of equipment, small and relatively simple to install. I like the digital readout and I leave it connected all the time, even when I'm not tuning. Originally, I had intended to use it only for tuning. However, I like to keep tabs on what's happening with the AFR kind of like the oil pressure now that I have it. I may get the analog dial and add it as I don't like the blinking digit effect of digital readouts.
In retrospect, I would buy the M-250 and add the analog gage if I had it to do over again.
