Or use an EGT gauge if you want a slightly cheaper route.

you should buy the Tomei A/F Guage. Reads the actual numbers.

True....and if your boosted/spray, I can see that being worthwhile. If N/A why spend all the money when an EGT is accurate enough?

They have a large selection. Granted, I didnt buy my Innovate XD-1 from them, but most prices are close to each other.

I think I'll just go with the EGT gauge as a reference only combined with my A/F guage.

The Wideband kits are just way to expensive for now.
I'll find out my actual A/F ratio when I hit the dyno then I'll no for sure my EGT for Peak HP, then ultimately use it for reference.

deff get rid of that a/f guage and get either the innovative lm-1 or the zeitronix wide band 02. Not really that much more expensive than a egt and way more accurate

innovative lm-1 is ok but $$$

I'm looking for an A/F guage better than Autometers one but nothing over $100 just for now a buddy of mine already has an EGT for me I want to combine it with a better reading A/F Guage thats all. ..

If I'm going to spend over $400 I already planned on getting the Microtech System.

I have an autometer A/F gauge. I really wish I never bought it, just useless. I would get a wideband, but damn the price!!
