without a wideband you are guessing, so cannot be done correctly.

at most you can safely tune your injector latencies and very minor changes in timing. Beyond that and you really do need a wideband

aww. I too was wondering about this. I have an innovative Lc-1 but the damn thing's o2 sensor must have went out bc it just reads 15.0 now. So it looks like its either tune it without or wait and buy an o2 sensor when im not so broke.

You can, just keep an eye out for knock. This will most definitely throw off your fueling. Why not just wait until you can get a wideband?

Innovate lc-1 without gauge approx $160
AEM Uego approx $200 with gauge and you make up your own rs232 cable.

for the extra $40 it's nice to have the gauge so you can check your mixtures at all times without your laptop.
