narrow bands are useless for tuning. Don't waste your time.

It's still a narrowband and is not going to aid you much - it is best to get a Wideband for tuning, it is actually accurate and you can log the AFR in HP Tuners or EFI Live

What are you tuning with? Do you have the whole HP Tuner system coming?

If you are using HR Tuners then you need to use a wideband

Thanks,Matt

Complete and total waste of money and time!
And no it won't tell you if your rich or lean under boost, you need to know the actual number not some stupid flashing light!
I picked up a AFX Powerdex a few weeks ago and really like it.

yes hp tuners pro is gonna be here mon and water meth on tues at first i wont tune for the water meth but use its cooling effects, then later tune for it i hope its just a heat issue im having idk though maybe the tune im running is crap. the guys at STS are going to walk me through the tuning and make sure its running tip top! ya i figured the wideband is def better but it will just read one side of the motor correct? is there a safe place to mount the bung so it reads both sides pre cat?
