Damn, i have learned so much. 
Anyways, the best thing to do is to get a seperate o2 sensor and use that. You can use either banks of the o2 sensors but it wont be that accurate. I would sugguest a EGT instead. But if you want the a/f, i would get an extra sensor through Autometer. Enjoy!

The Tomei i have in my car has an analog dial, and A/F Amp that reads the signal and converts it so the gauge shows exactly what my A/F ratio is. price difference is alot, but its worth it to me, since I have other plans.

i'm installing my a/f gauge tomorrow too and just need to know what wires i need to use, that's all. no extra sensor or anything, light show will be pretty if that's what happens.

ya that's what i thought but aren't our wires for O2 sensor shielded or something, i thought it wasn't good to do that if they were, maybe i'm just wrong but oh well. i'm mounting the solenoids now, just came to take a break and check mail.
