Default Bosch wideband...tuning?

Ok, I just picked up a nitrous kit from another member here over the weekend.

I'm looking at buying the autometer phantom guage 5778, which includes bosch wideband.

http://www.autometer.com/cat_gaugede...gid=3605&sid=7


When I bought my hptuner software, I also purchased a Innovate lc-1 wideband for tuning. I haven't even used it yet. Brand new, damn.

Anyway, I want to use the bosch wideband with the guage for a/f, but also I am able to run another set of leads out for programing with the tuning software.

My question is,

IS the bosch wideband good enough to tune with over the innovate lc-1.

Or should I keep both and tune with the innovate lc-1? I hear many good things about the innovate product.

Looks pretty cool..

Remeber all widebands including the innovatives are just there for reference. I've personally witnessed the innovatives quite a bit off when comparing them to a dynojet wideband. Which is right? who knows.. All I know is I've been using the dynojet wideband since before innovative had a wideband out and it consistant over and over again.

Using the same WB and going from dyno to dyno, I have had some dynos read richer and leaner than the innovate piece. Kinda has me wondering about some of the WB on the dynos.

so using the wideband from bosch shoudln't be any differ than the Innovate lc-1 for the tune?

If so, I guess I will sell my Innovate peice since the autometer setup will do the same.
