A/f guage recomendations

I did a few searches forst of all and came up with a few hundred results and didnt find anything that i was looking for. Can some one recomend a good a/f gauge that gives you numeric readings and not the Lean/stoichiometric/rich reading. the l/s/r reading doesnt really tell you specific enough so all im looking for is a good gauge that gives numbers.

Thanks

Save yourself the money and time you'd spend running wires. You might as well hang Christmas lights if it's not wideband.

Then you need to either buy the controller separately or the controller type gauge. Something tells me he's not looking for a WB/UEGO style gauge.

They're a big investment, but if you're making serious mods then it's a wise one. coma, when my car's running right and I pick it up from TurboTrix we have to meet up, along with the other NJ area people. You are friends with Joe, right? I seem to remember him mentioning a friend who might have been you back when I talked to him a good bit.

Word. The guys are TurboTrix are great, but they're really backed up right now. They're booking 2 weeks in advance (July 11th was the earliest date they could set for people when I was down there). So if you're gonna bring it in this summer you may wanna figure out a time soon. As for working on my car...once it's running I just have to do little things, but if I ever get money and get around to doing my suspension I'll keep you in mind. Right now the priority is getting my freakin' car back on the road before I have a ****in' aneurysm or a stroke.
