If you have the $55 AM A/F Gage with only LED's around the perimeter, such as #3375, $4375, or #5775 - that gage is meant to hook up to your stock narrowband O2 sensor and is basically nothing more than a 'light show', tells you absolutely nothing at all.
If you're looking for a more accurate gage then the AM to read your stock NB sensors then go with the Dynotune A/F gage that they sell just for that application.
If you're looking for a WB O2 setup then you need a gage that accepts the correct sensor signal from a Wideband O2 Sensor and reports A/F in a highly accurate digital manner. The regular AM gage does not have the capabilities of reporting Wideband signals as far as I know, and even if it did, the led's would not tell you much - you need the numerical digital display such as the one that comes with the PLX Gage, Innovate Gage, Dynotune Gage, AGX Gage, etc.
So basically, for accurate A/F readout you will need a Wideband O2 setup to begin with. If you want to use this info to import into tuning programs - most of the quality systems out there (such as this one) have that provision - but you will need a laptop to log data.
Innovate makes the LM1 which has it's own data logger incorporated (no need for laptop to data log).
With any of the WB O2 systems - if you want to be able to display the A/F info on your dash - you will need to get the corresponding gage that goes with the system you purchase.
AM just came out with a true WB O2 system - but it's priced around $390
For the money, flexability, & quality the PLX is one of the best systems out there

I was kind of worried that people would say they want in on this gp, then not pay when it came time to whip out the wallets. I'm glad they're shipping in batches
Might want to think about shipping all that have paid to date - if you only ship 20 - someone who paid might have to wait for quite some time till others finally pay (some may never). I know I would be pretty upset if I had to wait a long time to get mine after paying right away

Im not exactly sure who is on what list. I will try to find that out tommorow.
I wouldnt worry too much about getting all 50 shipped, I have several messages everyday from people wanting to be added to the list.

When kevin sends me the list of members who have paid he will include your s/n and he will tell me that you were not on the list but have paid, I will then add your S/N to the bottom part of the list on post#1.
Hope that makes sense.

there is no need, Anyone can order, we can have 100 orders come through!
just a min. of 50. The list is there simply to get things started and too make sure we have at least 50 people interested in the GP!
If you would pay tommorow you would recieve yours with the 2nd group!
It doesent matter what # you are on the list or even if your on it. Once you pay i will add you.
