I’m contemplating the addition of an AFR gauge (wide band) and a CHT gauge. But was wondering when you guys feel each is needed?
For instance AFR readings are apparently helpful with carbs, but is a gauge needed with aftermarket EFI systems (don’t they usually have AFR run through a tuner program)? Any use when running Ljet or Djet? As for a CHT gauge, - I’m wondering if those are really necessary if you’ve got the A/F set properly in the first place (engine oil and cooler assumed clean and fresh). Isn’t proper A/F under different loads, the key to keeping temps in range? . |
