Default A/F ratio gauge...

Which guage do you guys recommend?

Here is one that I found...

The Dynotune digital meter. Click here for link

I've read that its one of the most accurate A/F ratio guages around. What so you guys think? Anyone running this guage? Impressions?

Or should we just get a regular Auto Meter guage like this one? Click here for link Are these worth getting?

BTW, the reason for needing an A/F guage is becuase my brother is going to be spraying a 100 shot of nitrous to his truck.

Again, which guage do you guys recommend? Suggestions welcomed.



Thanks in advance.

You need a wideband narrowbands are BAD just a pretty light show. I bought a Dynojet Wideband Commander suppose to be one of the best on the market.

They're expensive but we've always had goodluck with the FJO Widebands.
Dynotunes are pretty good for the money I've seen a few get sluggish at times,

Don't get a narrow band. Its a waste of time and effort. If you really want one I'll sell you mine

Narrowband guages are totally useless to tune with the o2s respond to slow and the o2s are not accurate as you move outsde of the 14-15:1 range there main use is for emissions compliance.

My gauge hooks right to my EFILive cable/box. No big *** controller boxes needed like the DynoTune thing. What is pictured in the image above is all you need along with a tuning/scanning suite that is capable of reading from a wideband.

Lots of good wide bands out on the market.
Do some research on whats out there.
I went with the XD-1 stand alone.
