Go with an autometer wideband?

[ratlover]

I have a LS3 Camaro now to play with and need a WB.I ordered an autometer cobalt LED WB because I like the looks and it will match the other guages I got. It seems that not many people are running an autometer WB? Why is that? I can return it and get something else if need be. It shouldn't be too big a pain to get EFI live to log off it right? And it should be accurate? Nows the time to change if need be since I haven't put it in the car yet. Thanks in advance

Steer clear of anything that can't free air calibrate or doesn't give the Lambda output range.

I went with the Techedge 2J1 WB controller and an LA1 Circular Display. While the pair will probably set you back a little more than the Autometer, it does have a free air calibration as well as a serial port to connect to the V2. If you don't go with serial, it has a ground referenced analogue output to eliminate ground offsets.

You may be able to ask them to do one with blue digits....

Guessing free air calibration you just have it calibrate itself sitting out side the car?

Wideband Controller Poll

[ratlover]

That poll is why I asked the question. Figured there had to be a reason no body was running autometer WB's lol

[mr.prick]

That poll is less than a week old, it would be nice to get more members to vote.

we need one of the mods to force all users to vote..... :p

How do I do that...?

I know you can force users view and acknowledge certain posts, like the "terms and conditions" page. I don't know if this extends to general threads though. It's probably more of an "admin" task in the end to set it up.
