Default Autometer A/F Ratio gauge???? Which one?
Looking to buy a Auto Meter Phantom A/F Ratio gauge, one I am looking at is 60 bucks, question is do you really need the digital wide band gauge that is around 250 bucks??? Or is the Lean, Stock, Rich gauge good enough?

wide band is the best to go.

i got a narrow band in my car because it was free.

the narrow band really ony works on flat ground with cruise control on where signals dont fluxuate, and at idle. and revving the engine.


i like it but its really not useful.


least tehy are easy to install

Go wideband, or don't waste your money. Narrowband gauges are nothing but a light show. You can pick up an LC1 kit w/ DB gauge for under $200 new.
