    You do need a wideband, you cannot do without.

    LC-1, LM-1, LM-2, or any of the other ones that you like or that fit your budget.

    Within that budget, I'd recomment the NGK AFX wideband over anything from Innovate. The AFX is actually made by ECM, the company that makes the vast majority of widebands used by GM, Ford, Chrysler, and the EPA for their testing and is more accurate, especially at higher temps.

    Hmmm , does it have Digital output ?
    Read through the manual saw nothing about Digital output , don't know if I like that or not , it is so easy to just pop in the Digital input from a Innovate and start tuning .

    That's true!!! That's the neat thing about EFI Live V2 & Innovative(LC-1, LM-1, LM-2)...."The Serial connection"....

    Try looking at the wideband types in the V2 options setup for the serial input, see if it mentions NGK.

    No, but I still prefer analog accuracy over digitally delivered questionable data. ECM makes some higher end devices that have RS232 or CAN outputs. If you're interested in something professional grade like that, let me know and I can point you in the right direction.
