Default AEM Wideband Controller

Has anyone ever used on of these on a LS1 car, or are they no good.

I've got one too.
Had it for about 3 years now. However just got an intermittent fault over that last couple of weeks. I'm guessing the sensor has gone bad, by front O2's went bad back in March, this was down to some dodgy fuel.

Okay so what exactly do these things do. What can you control? Do you get this along with the guage.

Well I honestly don't know. I thought the controller was the "brain" to read what the O2 sensor is doing and then to send it to the gauge. If not then I have no idea.
