Scanmaster, is it worth it?

Thinking about getting an LT1 scanmaster for my Z. Is it worth it? Im looking to monitor A/F and such for my nitrous. It would also be nice to know whats going on with the car.

You can't monitor the air fuel ratio with a scan master. You will need a wideband o2 setup for that.

No. It uses the narrow band o2 sensors to read milivolts.
