Wideband or J&S?

It's been close to a year now that I've been driving with a stock SC kit with gauges (Oil/Boost/Fuel). I started to gather parts for my next step but I figure I'd get the more costly components out of the way first. So, which should I get, a wideband or the J&S safeguard? Any suggestions?

I would get the wideband first since you have been on a stock setup, with the wideband you would be able to get a better reading of your a/f hence having a better tune. J&S would be something nice to have when you upgrade you pulley and run higher boost but until then, the stock timing should be adequate for your setup. Costwise both are around the same price depending on what WB you go with but some can be cheaper such as the Zeitronix. Its a matter of preference and logging functions.

Choose the right wideband kit and you can have datalogging, too.

I agree. I've been looking into the Zeitronix and Innovative wideband kits. It seems I'm leaning more toward the Zeitronix.
