Default A/F ratio reported by Auto Tap compared to Wide Band, How close?

How close is the Air Fuel ratio reported by Auto Tap compared to the wide band results you have gotten?

Thanks,

Eric

I was generally showing lean in ATAP but a bit rich according to the wideband. I noticed ATAP O2 readings were not consistent.

That really stinks. I have read that some people's A/F ratio's were semi close to wideband on one side or the other.

Oh well, looks like I am stuck trying to find someone with a wideband.

I am in the same place myself. You can only use the Autotap numbers as a rule of thumb, as the Oxygen Sensors on the car on made only for a limited reading range to satisfy emissions requirements. It is for that reason that I ordered a wideband Oxygen Sensor, and then ordered a second one so that I will be able to read the A/F ratio in the real world as I modify and drive around. Not the cheapest way to go, but probably the most accurate. I have to install two additional sensor bungs, but will wait on that until I receive my Headers and install both the headers and widebands at the same time.
