Default Need Help Picking a Wideband

I am looking to pick up a wideband for my truck but am not sure which one to go with. I am looking for one that is just a wideband, not one of the multifunction gauges. If you have any first hand experience with one particular guage I would love to hear your feedback.

It's used to measure the A/F ratio. I am going to need to be able to measure it as I start putting more mods on the engine in the near future.

I will have to check your club out Mr. Poon King. Happy holidays buddy

The whole setup is usually made up of a sensor that goes in the exhaust before the cats. The sensor hooks to a controller and that controller is hooked to a gauge. I am getting a SRT gauge pod for x-mas and I want to get the wideband to put in the pod so it is ready to go when it comes time to tune the truck.

that sounds like a cool idea. You got to let us know how it goes.

Just a little more than I need right now. I just need to have something so I can monitor what A/F I am at. Down the road I may upgrade if I need it.

That is actually one of the setups I have been looking at. There are so many different ones out there that it is hard to pick.
