Wide bands are used in some cars, but mostly in conjunction with some type of additional tuning software used to create or manipulate stock hardware settings. > > it just sounded like you wanted an ‘upgrade’ by going wideband in a stock car to me… My car isnt heavily modded but it has a 3inch turbo back and air intake.I have a Cobb Acess Port on the way.My intensions for the wideband was to be able to keep an eye on ratio just incase something isnt right.I really dont want to try and learn to street tune on my car.Ill leave it up 2 someone that does it for a living maybe sometime in the future. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/wideband-vs-narrow-band-a-f-gauges/200985)._
