If your using EFI Live and the roadrunner you can save some money and not Buy the LM-1, you can buy the LC-1.

The LC-1 is the same sensor/controller but it does not have all the datalogging functions, but since you have EFI Live you dont need those functions anyways

Contrariwise, if you plan to work on multiple vehicles, the "meter"
form of the LM-1 is a lot more toolbox-tolerant and portable; to
work on old non-EFI motors you might want the RPM converter
and if you were going to go really nuts like instrumenting up MAP
or whatever to pick your Holley power valve P/N for example, the
AuxBox would be handy.

For just what's stated and not wanting more A-pillar blinky-blinky
I'd say the basic LM-1. "Analog output cable" is a stereo 1/8"
patch cord, don't pay extra for that. Kit should come with a
wideband bung and plug, don't use the plug (soft stainless Allen
which will end up stuck and round out on you) but get a Toyota
18mm oil pan drain plug from the Zone.

After my experience with the LC-1 I'll never use, nor will I recommend, that wideband sensor ever again.

I have used my LM-1 that I bought from Lingenfelter over 3 years ago non-stop. Only thing I did was replace the sensor. Since then I have sold a ton and never had one customer return or experience any problems with them.

Thumbs up

Jimmy, will the resistor in the SLP 85mm MAF degrade or malfunction in time?

I ask because it was fairly easy to re-tune with the SLP unit as/is; therefore I wouldn't want to tune all over again without the resistor

Thanks for the help BTW
