The stock ECM runs off a narrow band 02
A wide band 02is normally installed standalone and used for tuning because it is more accurate over a wider range but some WB have a NB output so a single WB O2 can be installed for both tuning and engine management through the stock ECM
Correct, the GM computers can't do wideband but if you are ambitious enough aftermarket stuff like the megasquirt can. I have not gone that far yet, but might some day. Currently I have a WBO2 but the stock ECM still uses the narrowband feed out of the WB controller and that works well.
