RE: air fuel gauge
Narrowband meters are junk.
Get this: http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...77204_-1_10625
The Standalone kit, they are great. I think i'm going to sell my worthless damn boost/fuel gauge and buy that setup.

Air/Fuel Gauge
The A/F gauge will measure the air to fuel ratio that is being burned in your combustion chamber, or in other words how lean or rich you are running. The air/fuel ratio is the ratio of Air to Fuel drawn into the cylinder. The optimum ratio of Air to Fuel is about 13.5-pounds or air to 1-pound fuel.
There are Narrowband and Wideband Air/Fuel gauges available. A Narrowband does not provide the precise Air/Fuel reading needed for tuning. The Narrowband will meter the output of voltage from the vehicles oxygen sensor through LED lights.
Narrowband Air/Fuel Gauge
The Narrowband Oxygen Sensor cannot indicate what exactly the A/F ratio is in the rich or lean areas due to the fact that oxygen sensor output changes with temperature and wear. When the oxygen sensor temperature increases the voltage output will decrease in the rich area, and it will increase in the lean area
Wideband Air/Fuel Gauge
A Wideband Air/Fuel gauge is better suited for tuning. These gauges will provide an accurate reading of the Air/Fuel ratio. The wideband sensor provides a signal that’s virtually proportional to the amount of oxygen that is in the exhaust stream.
A wideband Air/Fuel gauge is by far one of the best investments tools you can have when dealing with tuning. This will allow you to have a full accurate reading of your Air/Fuel mixture. If your Air/Fuel ratio is lean, you can blow your engine. This gauge will help you achieve accurate readings so that you will have the proper Air/Fuel levels so you can enjoy peak performance with engine longevity.

RE: air fuel gauge
if you have a wideband do you still need a fuel pressure gauge? like if your fuel pressure drops then you'll notice on your a/f ratio anyways right?
also what does standalone mean? just that it has its own 02 sensor?

RE: air fuel gauge
some stuff i have heard regarding the subject...
Narrowband....NO NO NO NOOOOOOO, never.
AEM wideband is a good gauge at a fair price for a wideband gauge. the bosch sensor that comes with it is good and effective....but only at a hobby level from what ive been told. if you get into crazy amounts of power and stuff...youre better off getting a more expensive gauge with a more effective sensor.
