id rate the stack one its very simple to fit and use / dose as its meant too! before that i had an innovate lm1 set up which was an over complicated load of rubbish that never worked lol

None are accurate enough to rely on Mark has checked the ones in my car against his proper set-up.
The Innovate was declared miles out & the Stack got a well i suppose its better than nothing. It really just fills a hole in the dash but looks good.

They'll get you into the right ballpark, and they'll show you if anything changes on your car, they generally read within about half an AFR of the Autronic Analyser that Mark uses (and dyno dynamics rollers come standard with)
But for something like mapping your sierra, I agree with Mark totally that they arent upto the job and a proper analyser is required.

They work reasonably well, enough for most enthusiasts, but its no surprise that if you spend 1000s the sort of equipment you can buy is more accurate than if you spend 100s

1) get your car checked over constantly by someone like Mark to ensure its in tip top condition
2) buy a wideband and notice that its now a lot leaner than it used to be
3) run a fuel pressure gauge
4) melt your engine
They arent needed IF everything is working correctly, much like an oil pressure gauge.

I know mines not 100% but its a good indication if some thing gos tits up when im driveing the car hard better to have a gauge to keep an eye on things than to melt a piston if it gos lean on boost or some thing silly!

The one he tested read that much out, they dont all read exactly that much out or they'd just alter them to read .5 less
The problem with ALL the cheaper ones is that their results vary more than the quality ones do, there isnt a hard and fast rule that all stacks read .5 too high or all innovate read .5 too low though.

job done, they are all out abit my car on dyno showed 11 afr, aem shows 11.4, an aem has potentially saved my old rb26 and definately saved the 2jz stroker, an absolute must on any highly tuned car.

come on rod thats not fair at all, there far more than a hole filler, i lost my second fuel pump due to wiring and the aem saved the engine was leaning of the scale, obviously a £5000 one would be ideal but for £130 they are a must for any tuned car imo.

I ran an AEM in my old car and will probably run one in my current one when the engine is finished, good enough for simple target graphs etc and lean/rich alarms depending on your ecu.

In australia and japan many people including tuning companies use the neko af 700 as there primary afr meter, others use it as a back up for there ecm.
There was a test done that proved that the af 700 gave exactly the ame readings as th dyno dynamics/autronic afr meter.
They are very very good.

ive bought 2 from the same seller, one on my supra and one on my dragster and neither have had customs charges, 2-3 days delivery with fedex, just ask them to value it at $15 commercial sample or gift.

of course it will give you a rough indication as once you have had the car set up by who ever will map it or check it over you will be able to see what the readings are on your gauge then if for some reason they change all of a sudden you know to get the car checked over again properly as you may have a problem

The one I posted is not a guage as such, its a tuning tool.
