I love my Innovate LC1 -- works great with EFILive, and is simple to setup and use. Pros: price -- it's dirt cheap. Cons: no external display for air/fuel, if that's what you want. I didn't want it, I only wanted to see air/fuel when logging and tuning, so it was the perfect device for me.

Very happy here with my Innovate LC-1. You can get the XD-16 display from innovate if you want a guage and light show. I also beleive you can but the two packaged together. I only use mine with EFI live for tuning so a display is not needed.

I agree with both posts above. My LC-1 works great with the HT Tuner.

Another LC-1 user here, was a PIA wiring wise but got it going after awhile; grounds are tricky. Intergrates very easily into EFI Live.

anyone use the dynotech or the AEM??

the dynotech has a built in warning light that is attractive.

I want a wideband that has a round "old school" needle style gauge.

thanks for any feeback, integration with HP tuners and logging a definite must!!

I have the dynojet. Bought it b/c of the audible warning that can be programmed. I figure I will be more likely to hear the warning before seeing a light or staring at the gauge. Once I finish the install, I'll report how it works.

LC-1 from Dynotune with their gauge. It works great and was not that bad to install using a lift.

Dynojets here. Easy to hook up,easy to connect to EFI live. Awesome life span with no free air calibration crap.

LC-1's -have a few here that took a dump.50% have short life spans.

Is that the O2 sensor or the unit?

Anyone used the new FAST air/fuel meter? I'm looking for better accuracy with heat and pressure.

I had 1 LC1 that died early -- I called their support line and they stated there was a known issue with the DAC that sends the signal to the analog outputs. When connected to their gauge (serial output) or any other serial device it works fine.

Mine was way out of warranty but they RMAd it for free and sent me a new one with the updated, non-failing DAC.
