Wideband a/f question

[diarmadhi]

So one of the first things im going to do is get a wide band a/f guage in this sucker..

My question is where would be the optimal place for the sensor.. I am assuming as far down the headers as possible but before the cats?

I would share my list of things.. but my car is going to surprise quite a few after i get it... I am thinking outside the box.

Unless it is heated, you want it as far forward as possible because they don’t work until they warm up. And if you are planning for nitrus, this will help the ECM adjust a hair faster.

Who says the PCM will adjust itself??? so far, adding a WB sensor will not make the PCM adjust itself for WOT conditions.

The typical wide-band sensor/contoller is fully heated and compensated for temperature, allowing it to be placed remote from the heat of the engine. Obviously it has to be before the cat, but exact location is not critical.
