AEM wideband is a very good entry level guage.

Safe afr's, it'll depending on engine spec, fuel, ingnition but for the average cossie you'll probably want to stay around 11.5 on full tilt.

The Innovate ones are a PITA. When they work they are fine.

But the AEM is cheaper and easier as a package. Fit, add power, job done.

No cocking about with stupid wiring, switches and LED's like the LC-1 requires.

My AEM gauge was a doddle to fit and i compared it back to back with the ECM wideband equipment at MSD and it was pretty accurate!

Stacks are good too. Worked on a few cars with them and they're about as accurate as the AEM stuff.
