Default A/F Ratio Gauge Question

Since I have all the bolt-ons and stuff and I am a real paranoid person I was thinkin it would be beneficial for me to get a A/F ratio gauge. Now in order to do this without an expensive wideband how can I. I heard something about narrowband but dont understand the whole concept. Also do you think it would look stupid if I got the a-pillar gauge pod for just that one gauge or should I get another gauge to throw in there so it would look better. Any help appreciated.

If it is not a wideband it really is just a cheap light show

o lol i was about to say the same thing as doughboy.

umm I havent ran it since I put a lot of the stuff on. With the exhaust and gear I ran a 14.01 with a slipping clutch, no type of launchand winter tires lol. I was driving horrible that day, I also blew up my tranny that day. Hopefully when I go back out in April and with some sticky tires I will run a 13.6-13.8 if im not being 2 optomistic.

really? so they arent that accurate? I just wanted to check to see if im running lean or whatnot. But if its a waste of time and money I wont bother with it, since I have not seen many ppl around here with em
