Here is the cheapest I have seen this autometer wideband O2 gauge. I bought it when autometer was having a $40 rebate, so I got it for a steal:

I will let you know, it does not read anything BELOW 10 (Meaning 10:1). With my 24# injectors, it bottomed out. Hemifever made a new tune for me to trim the fuel and it was STILL bottoming out, although sometimes it would read 10.2, so at least he got me on the mark. He said I was probably running 8:1 before the tune.
I doubt you will have that problem. But with your mods, I would consider 24# injectors because most people with heads and a cam have lean spots. Merc225HP is running the mopar 92 octane PCM and had a lean spot with stock injectors. He slapped on 24# injectors (accel) and he said it fixed the lean and it didn't seem to be running rich.
I think that Mopar perf PCM really can adjust fuel better. I had the same Bosch 24s on my 1996 5.2 and I was getting 15-16 MPG (average MPG city and hwy). Not so much on my stock 2001 with the death flash (8.9 MPG). Maybe the death flash is the culprit for not adjusting fuel optimally.

Well, I have found one used and I installed the M1 intake. When I first backed out in the road and then took off it felt so weak!! I was thinking, oh well I can just resale it.
But...after driving the truck for a few miles and the computer figured out what was going on the power starting picking up big time! Now, I can say this was a good investment!! Very little change (drop) in off the line power when you initially take off, but it doesn't take but a second to get in the power range of the intake and it really takes off! Much better than the kegger. Throttle response is awesome as well(the intake has a turtle). When you are getting on the gas you can really hear the intake moan. It just has a different sound than the kegger.
It still needs a tune from Hemifever in order to get everything perfect. I dont have a wideband a/f gauge, so I either need to get one $$ or get another dyno. My tv cable is a little out of adjustment as well. Once I get these issues worked out, it should feel even stronger!!

Better spray pattern may lead to slightly better overall engine efficiency.
