O2 sensor (stock vs wideband) my final decision!!
Just wanted to let you know!
I checked how the modified air/fuel meter works and I must say I´m happy with the results.
The lights showed O2 readings at ,92 on WOT and stayed there even on a longer WOT run.
That´s enough for me to have the air/fuel ratio perfect under control.

FWIW and please don't flame me I am just passing along info from a coupel of tuners:
Do not use a wideband 02 for daily use, it will not hold up. Widebands are for tuning purposes only and usually only last between 300-500 hours. I am sure someone here ismore knowledgable than I, I merely wanted to share what I had been told when contemplating this issue.

I thought about installing a wideband only for tuning (not daily use!!!) as it is more accurate as the stock O2 sensor on WOT readings.
But I decided that the readings I get out of the stock sensor are good enough for me.
However the Cup Porsche of a friend of mine always have the wideband on and so do a lot of Supra guys that I called, over there in US. So it seems to work on all day cars (not really all day!?!? ) also.
