Default Least Expensive Wideband

I am looking for the least expensive wideband to purchase. I don't really need a gauge at the moment but would probably like one in the future. The tuning will be done with HP tuners. Are there any out there that are pretty inexpensive and can add a gauge to later on as an option?

the LC1 is the least expensive...

dynotune.org offers awesome prices to ls1tech members (200 or less... 200 is the retail price, dynotune often has GPs or special pricing on them, give them a call... )

(I own an LM1 and am very happy with it.... also have a brand new LC1 i'm installing once the weather gets better)

Like already stated, the LC-1 will be the cheapest. It is $199 without the gauge. Dynotune has the LC-1 and a digital gauge for $249. The LC-1 works really well with HP Tuners. If you want to get fancy with the gauge, Innovate has the XD-1 Gauge.

Like the others have stated. LC-1. Works great with HPT. Great investment, really makes tuning much less of a chore.

Thanks guys. Just ordered the LC-1 without the gauge for now. I am going to try and find an inexpensive gauge that will be compatible for it but don't know where to start looking. Also is there a special cable required to use the LC-1 with hp tuners?

Thanks for the link, I should have seen that. On the other hand, I am not sure about the HP tuners. It is a friend that is doing the tuning for me and I really hope he has those ports.
