Shopping for a Wide band

Just need it for my drag car and would like to record a pass and replay it.....

What are my options? LM-1?

I like the dynojet wideband commander. Comes with a gauge you mount in the car and not as complex as a LM-1.

I as well have a DynoJet WB. It has also has a USB connection, and, can data log based on trigger point set_up. I do like the analog gage feature. It is great for low speed cruzing since you cannot always run data logs and spend more time disecting the data for solutions. I understand it is more expensive, but, the analog gage helps. I also have an autometer afr gage next to it on the "A" pillar. Also, the autometer gage is wired to DTDP toggle switch for easy selection of Rt/ Left O2 sensor input while driving (an idea from LJ). The WB afr gage works well with the idiot light colors of the autometer afr gage, so, you can get an idea of where each bank is running. B.

Dual sensors, data logging (no extra "rpm" module needed), with "alarm" and ability to interlock to a relay (e.g. - shut down nitrous on lean A/F ratio). It's on my wish list.... but still a bit on the expensive side at $720:

I have a Dynojet Wideband Commander. I had the silver bezel changed out for a black one by autometer and it looks like it was a factory install. Analog guages are definitely best for a wideband. It smooths out the needle and gives you useful info as you drive. It logs rpm, throttle position, afr, and map(all the keys for tuning). It also has a programmable light on the guage that I use for a shift light. Only downfall is I had to buy an MSD tach adapter to get the rpm logging to work.

Thats a really nice unit, but expensive for what I want to do.

Can I log data with that?

I don't give a crap about a gauge, its in a race car so I need to log the data and come back to look at it.

when i logged with it it was through maft-pro and there software tunerrt-pro on a turbo talon, not sure about a lt1, how does everyone else log with a wideband, i am sure it is the same. is there a aux imput for your logging software

you should just pm injuneer and ask him, i am sure he knows and would love to help you mike

edit: the gauge is actually the controller in that unit, there is two outputs from the gauge meant to be used for logging, it also comes with the sensor and the harness
