Default wideband O2 questions

ok I am looking into a wideband for my 04 ram, I am looking at innovate LC-1 like a lot of people have and like. but with only 1 sensor how does it properly work on a 5.7 hemi? if it cant go after the cats where both pipes meet, then it only is measuring one side of the motor. is that all it needs? or do I gotta get one with 2 sensors?

thanks SLT8,
I just find it weird that if an ecm needs input from both sides of motor from O2's, why a wideband kit wouldn't need 2?

I know FAST sells a dual kit, but if only one is really needed that's a lot cheaper.

What is the reason you want one to begin with? Are you going to add an Aftermarket PCM/ECU? Or are you looking for the visual cool factor?

B/c I can think of so many better things to spend your money on if you're not planning on putting some serious modifications on.

That would justify a wideband... but simple bolt-ons wouldn't.... just saying....

Yeah one is fine but with the innovate can add more if you want with the addition of ssi-4.
