AFR gauge with o2 sensor worth it or not?
...
Let me know your thoughts! Worth it or not?
I bought the older FAST Portable dual O2 Sensor kit. I've used on two cars so far. It will record internally and I can play it back on the screen. I just use it for the real time readings anymore. I've also just use one O2 sensor at a time, because they are so close to being equal on my motors.
My '68 is EFI and I emailed the readings to my tuner, who lives on the east coast, he adjusted my tunes with the info and I upload them into my ECM with a hand held tuner.
On my '70, I have 3 Holley 2bbls. I'm currently in the process of tuning the carbs with it. So far I have dialed in the full throttle, the 3 accelerator pump shots and cruise A/F ratios. I am waiting on some bigger Idle Metering Jets to fatten up the idle A/F ratio on my Promax metering block.
I know that I would never have been able to tune either system as completely as I am able to with the A/F gauge. The portability part is nice, as all I have to do is plug it into my cigarette lighter and insert the O2 sensor. Having a permanently mounted gauge would also be nice.
