apexi auto timer (401-A011)

i dont know how many of you have this but i just came across one from a friend who decided they didnt want it.
it has the timer, which i dont see being of too muhc use to me since i'm n/a (maybe extra cooling time if i leave my cooling fans on?)
what my question is , is if this is good for getting a good reading for the 02 sensor, A/F ratio. i would need to set the parameters and i have no idea what they are.
so if anyone has any info on this, i'm kinda gonna be toying with it and hopefully it can benefit me in some way.
oh yeah it also tells me when my battery voltage is low heh. sweet.

ah damn i just read this "Since the Auto Timer uses the factory O2 sensor which is primarily designed for emissions, the readings may not be as accurate as racing air/fuel ratio monitors."
so i guess its not of much use to me?

Save your money. Its basically a turbo timer and the other "features" arent worth it. For your N/A Car the best method for cooling is turning the car off. It wont cool down faster @ idle with the fans.

the 02 readings will be off and un-reliable, keep that money for something else much more worth it. . . imho.

if it was free or pretty close to it (maybe $10 or something) you could install it if you'd like to look at it in the car and such.

Functionality wise you wouldnt have much use for it.
