Default Which Wideband???

I have been looking for a good, and decently priced permanent install wideband to use with my HPtuners. I am unsure of what exactly I need so any help would be appreciated.

I did find this kit which looks great but I am unsure if this include everything I need?

and this kit will work with the HPtuners? Im not sure if i Have the MPVI? (how do I know) but I noticed it look like it came with its own program to read live data.

Also do you have any idea were I could find the best write up for someone trying to learn HPtuners? I know how to connect and thats about it.

I'd like to know too, I just put about 75 miles on the car logging LTFT numbers as described here http://www.hptuners.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3833 Under VE tuning.
Ha HPTuners for a few years for transmission stuff, now I added headers, ORY, starting to get into engine tuning, but I really don't know where to begin. Other than the recent posts I've put up.

Our help file is a great place to start with everything from Live Flash Demos to in depth how to's & explanations about how the specific tables work

www.hptuners.com/help

if your unit has 2 buttons on the face plate and says MPVI Pro in big letters its the MPVI Pro version

My box is just black with a white serial number sticker on it, I guess its not the MPVI version, but the older interface will still work to tune the car right?

get an LM1 and save yourself time and money. I had too many issues with LC1s in the past. I ended up sending it in several times to repair, and it was a pain in the ***. I would have saved if I just bought the LM1 in the first place. I dont know if they fixed the issue, but I wouldnt trust it (IMO)

LC1 wasted a lot of my time too. I took the loss and went to an AEM. Problem solved.
