I have to get larger chokes and re-jet my 1911cc/dual IDF40s and was thinking of installing a wideband air-fuel gauge to help with tuning. I've looked at a few digital gauges for around $200 that include the gauge, O2 sensor, bung, wiring, etc. Wondering if you guys have any sourcing recommendations and install tips. It looks simple from what I've read. Thanks for any help you can provide.

i have both. the lm-2 and the permanently installed gauge. i started off the lm-2 (hand held). thats what i initially used to tune my car. so it was just temped in. cord thru the window. so when i pulled it off to use on my bikes i had nothing in my car. thats when i decided to install a permanent one. two reasons..... 1. when i make any type of changes to the engine i have instant results to see if it affected my a/f ratio. and 2. i like to monitor the a/f. i like to be able to glance at the gauge when im pulling the monster grades on the freeway. it would suck to be running lean at WOT and not know it. data is everything.......to me anyways....
