Will an A/F gauge make me happier, or will it drive me nuts?

The 914 is carburated, and it runs great. But still have explosions in the tail-pipe when engine breaking. To add to the drama, 90% of these tail-pipe explosions occur under freeway-overpasses.

Whats the verdict on the Gauge Yes or No?

Thanks in advance.

You could just use it temporarily. Once you know you are dialed in you could remove it so it won't drive you crazy.

I totally agree. remove or disconnect the power once the engine is dialed in or if you're like me will spend too much time looking at it.
