Default Which side should i put the wideband sensor on?

I have a wideband sensor for my car now and i was wondering what side was the lean side. I was just going to put it right after my longtubes on the driver side but one of my buddies brought to my attention that one side does run leaner than the other. So i was just wondering what side i should put it on?

Drivers side... Thats the side the tends to get air conditioned the most.

The reason I suggest the Drivers side is that 75% of the blown engines are the back two drivers side pistons. So it begs to reason that if you have the wideband on that side it will help monitor it.

I have heard the exact opposite. The pass side front two are the ones that go in almost every case I've seen/heard of.

Well damnit.... LOL... im just gonna put it on the driver side. I hope it does its job. Basically im just using my buddies of his Supra to tune street tune it because i got a cushmon stage 2 cam coming. So i bought a bung from summit and i will plug it after we get done. Anyways Thanks for the advice guys!

Have a bung put in both sides, tune it with one side and test the A/F on the other side when you think you have it tuned right. It should be within +/- .3 to the other side depending on the accuracy of your sensor.
