Normally wideband systems are on the expensive side. I wouldn't expect to pay any less than $325 for a wideband system, most have outputs to log to a computer.

do you have a system that you would recomend? and ya, i know they are on the pricey side, hell the sensor alone would run 125+ but, i could care less, rather have the info, then not, and lean out!

A lot of people use the LM-1. There are quite a few systems out there, probably the cheapest you'll find is on E-Bay unless you do the DIY WBO2, but that requires a lot of soldering and know-how.

so. from what all i am seeing. the wideband commander i gave the link for, is right on line with the lm-1 and price wise to, being that the wideband comander has a guage, and the guages i have seen are 120 or so...

i dont like the gauge on that system, any way i can hook up a new nexus gague up to it or a phantom gauge (autometer).

If anyone wants any LM1 parts and accessories, email us we have about 8 LM1's in stock with a few extra goodies. We can get you a good deal on the LM1 itself.

can i just buy a wideband 02 sensor for my a/f gauge, not sure how that works?

^ No, can't do that, since the regular aftermarket a/f gauges are only a 0-1v signal, and widebands are 0-5v
