Help!! Which Wideband??
I am looking to get a wideband AFG and I can't make up my mind on which one to get. I have been looking at the AEM and the LC-1. I haven't heard anything bad about the AEM. I have heard of people having problems with the LC-1 overheating. Don't know exactly what they are talking about, however it is in a thread here. Looks like the LC-1 would be harder to hook up. Someone help!!!!!!!!!!
thanks

Another vote for the LC-1 I have the LC-1 with XD-16 gage - never had any problems. Chad @ Green Light Motorsports is running a special on these right now for a great price. I think I'm going to pick up another for my other T/A.

Yup, non-linear. To use it in a manner that is needed for proper tuning, it just isn't practicle. Now to use it like you are it works flawless as I used it like that for sometime. Don't get me wrong, it is a decent wideband. It would be a lot better if it offered a programable linear output though.

And did you read where I said that it is dead accurate compared to a dyno dynamics free air calibrated wideband???

yeah its not like there are no bad stories about the LC1's or other similar units out there., lol. I have read plenty of threads about innacurate jacked up LC1's and LM1's

What is the major probs with the lc-1. I have seen several posts on probs with it. They say it is a bad batch. The calibrations on the lc-1 looks like a pain. Still don't know which one to get. Afraid I might be stepping into a lot of probs with the LC-1.
