I just recently added bungs to my headers for a LM-1. My buddy with a Hemi GTX is using a AEM gauge. He likes it. I'm thinking about using it for my Charger.

that looks like a good gauge....but a little more than I was wanting to pay

I've used PLX and AEM widebands in multiple cars, I prefer the AEM as it has smoothing. The PLX units without smoothing are very difficult to read as the readings are all over the place.
Get a wideband or nothing at all.
Gauges like this are completely worthless for tuning:

You can get an AEM off of Ebay for just over $150 with the Bosch sensor.

I was planning on picking up a set of widebands and using them for testing & tuning... on the vehicle and on the test stand. I prefer the analog units myself... easier to follow a needle than a digital display.

you should have said something I would have showed you the one I run in the Charger.

I will look at the brand when I get home.

I got it from Summit.
You can do some programming to chage the way the display updates and you can connect a computer and record a log while it runs.

I have an AEM wideband reading my left bank header. Anolog needle stlye,. I'm am old guy.

Things it has told me:

That all three of the carbs for my Charger run in the 12;1 range at wide open throttle..Good news.

That the TQ was suddenly going lean after about 10-12 second at WOT....bigger needle and seats and the carb fuel inlet solved this.

That I forgot to turn the choke off all the way the other day... cruising at 13:1 instead of 15:1

That my Eddy 800 was running rich, not smoking rich yet, cleaned gas varnish/gum from carb, back to normal.



Ran cars for years without it, but it is a nice tool.

Makes tunners looking at you car wonder what other gadgets you might have.  :rofl:

I use a portable one that I can quickly move from one car to another. Works real well for me.

I got the cheapest one from Advance, and a replacement(non heated, dirt cheap) O2 sensor from a Saturn. Works alright, but the thing runs rich as Bill Gates. At temp, the engine tries to stall when i get close to "correct" id assume something is wrong with the gauge, cause the car runs fine.
