Suggestions for air/fuel "gauge" setups needed..

Long story short, I dont feel safe getting a new tune without an air/fuel ratio gauge. Got it pretty much narrowed down to the AEM for $200, but there are plenty more out there for cheaper, which is also interesting since Im considering adding a 3-gauge pillar for it. Any recommendations? Dont wanna shell out 200+ bucks for one gauge when I could have 3. You get what you pay for, I know i know..

AEM, Zeitronix, or Innovate are the 3 that people use the most.

Read both of these threads, start here...

Thanks, I guess im looking for more of a bang for the buck type of deal where I can pick up 3 gauges to fill the side pillar instead of just 1. Not shooting for numbers too crazy yet so maybe I could get away with a ****tier gauge..

That's not how it works. None of the good widebands are very inexpensive.

Actually, this one https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...0-cluster.html is more expensive but if you got it in the OBD 2 version you could have 4 gauges in 1.

I've had great success with the Innovate, both the product and company's customer service are excellent. The AEM is sluggish at times, and I've had controller failures with them. The PLX is a nice piece, but the analog output voltage differs from the gauge output. The gauge also randomly spikes to lean or rich every minute or so. Zeitronix isn't too bad.

Innovate all the way for me!
