Im looking in to order a wideband air/fuel ratio gauge soon but im having trouble deciding what i want. The obvious choice would ofcourse be the aem uego but i was reading reviews and a lot of people swear by the innovate wideband. propsort also makes one but they are supposedly just a defi knock off brand that also makes glow shift. i need input.

The trick to a good wideband is a good sensor. The ability to read the sensor is all the meter is responsible for.

Imo you can go wrong with Autometer, AEM, or innovate. All nice products.

I had a Innovate LC-1 in my camaro and had a few minor glitches with it... mostly calibration issues.... my friend has had his in his camaro for over a year no problem...

the next wideband i get is gunna be a PLX one...

plxdevices.com i like there multiguage set up which is one OEL gauge that can read up to so many inputs and display it on one gauge...

I believe AEM also uses a Bosch sensor. AEM includes detailed instructions with their kit, describing where the sensor should be installed in your exhaust and what angle it should be on for the best readings. I have only ever used AEM wideband and I have never had any issues.
