Well, it seems to be hard to find a good wideband in stock. I decided to boycot Innovate and went with an AEM since it is the only one I could get within a day or two and has a good reputation.

My LC1 works great so far. About 6-8 months. You wouldn't happen to have the 12v switched power source on a source that stays on would you? I had to try several different sources before I found one that actually went OFF when I turned the key off. This will kill the sensor as the heater stays on and no exhaust is passing by it (so I've read)

I haven't had any problems with my LC-1... yet. Aside from 1 issue installing it (grounding lol) it's been money. Dead on the last dyno I was on too. Sorry you'er having so much trouble.

I got my AEM in yesturday and WOW! 3 wire hook up: power, ground, and analog out to HPT 
It took maybe 5 mins to hook up and worked flawlessly. No calibrating, no software to load, no 9 wire complicated wiring to deal with, no custom configuration of the software to make it work right I think it may be the best $300 i've spent lately I highly recommend it. Those of you with an LC1, I feel for you. This thing is sweet. and it is all contained in a compact 2-1/16 gauge, no external driver.
