I run the Innovative XD-16 with LC-1 Wideband and i have to say I love it...

The wideband can grow to be so much more...It is expensive but it is so worth it...

a wideband isnt worth dik if your not doing your own tuning... unless you like to watch the lights dance around and do a pretty show, fuel pressure can give you just as good or even better emergancy warning - however dont kid yourself... if something goes wrong a stock motor and you go lean that bad or the fuel pump cuts off - 90% of the time your not going to be able to shut down fast enough to save the motor anyway... now a wideband is good to have - dont get me wrong here - however you dont have to have it and your average person really doesnt nothing with it - this is also on top of the fact that your dyno tuner will use his own wideband anyway.

^ you make a good point

although I personally data log and send the reports to my tuner.

I will also have Oil Pressure and exhaust temp. gauge to keep on top of things. All my datalogs will be monitored by JGORM of SOCALSTANGS.

LOL your funny...

I datalog and send it to my tuner...

It can do alot more then just dance...I can log quite a few perameters and look at them at home and they will tell me what is going on...

It is a great tool and I would not run boost without one...

HMUSN · May 25th, 2007, 03:20 PM

X10

Or you can see where your issue is and see what you can do to fix it...Or send them to your tuner and he can tweak the tune to fix the issue...

HMUSN · May 27th, 2007, 04:55 PM

Just becuase tune is dialed in on a dyno does not mean conditions and such cant change...

becuase they do...

Temprature, humidity, driving conditions and alot of other things can have influence on a car...thus it is nice to keep an eye out on it...

Banned you have a PM...

HMUSN · May 27th, 2007, 07:27 PM

can I have a PM?

HMUSN · May 27th, 2007, 08:26 PM

Chrisj you also have a pm.

(not really I just wanted to sound important)
