> I dont see how the autometer NB A/F gauge does anything… only thing i see is it stays in the green (rich) during WOT and stays in the red (lean) during de-accel when in gear… during idle and normal driving it just bounces around like crazy… If I tuned the SAFC while using an LM-1 like dyingwish has would I get better readings?

It would certainly be more accurate. The only issue with doing this via S/VAFC is that you can only adjust so much, but the wideband will give you a very clear picture of what is happening. You are right about the Automter gauge though, it tells you nothing about actual ratios…rich/lean doesn’t mean shit.
