Gauges,"The Best, and the not so best"

Doesn’t matter what a/f gauge you get, unless it’s wideband it’s basically nothing other then a dancing light show. As such, if you’re going to get one, the best IMHO is the cyberdyne digital bar graph one. Most A/F gauges have lights around the outside edge and a single light is lit. This is tough as hell to read as it bounces around. THe bar graph style keeps all bars lit up to the one it’s reading at, which makes reading it quickly a cinch. And it’s dirt cheap:

or the even cheaper summit brand which I have:

I have one only to make sure that my 02 sensor is working properly as I am running a modified stock tune and as such it is heavily reliant on this sensor working, and my sensor is an old skool unheated 1 wire. Using it to determine your actual a/f ratio is worthless.

Good info, thanks, want a quick read to know I’m safe
