Default Autometer Wideband?? any good?

I have been needing a wideband for a few months now. I'm lookin at the NV wideband to go with the NV nitrous gauge. I have heard a few things that they weren't very accurate or reliable. I have had an AEM wideband in a DSM and it worked great. If anyone has experience with Autometer Widebands please help out...

I was looking at their wide band gages too. But I've had so much trouble with their fuel pressure gages that I'm having second thoughts. I've just replaced a bad one with a bad one. They seem to want to stick and not function.

Here is an alternative but I haven't used them.

I didn't realize they made widebands, I though they just made the gauge and you had to purchase an LM1 or equivelant to make them read a true A/F. My buddy has an autometer A/F gauge in his T-bird but it's hooked up to the stock o2's and really annoying. LOL

I have an AEM and it has performed flawlessly.

That would be a narrowband, and they aren't very usefull. and the AEM is looking like what i might have to go with.

I have autometer wideband, fuel pressure and oil pressure and they are all very acurate. I can watch my fuel pressure and oil pressure on my laptop and they match exactly what the gauges say. They look really nice too.

Your right they look great on your car. I would like it all to match. I'm not all about looks but i do want my stuff to look as clean as possible. I might have to just try em out. any one else have good/bad news about em?

I use sniper recon. It comes with sniper. You can data log just about anything with it and it can be replayed, shown in a 2d or 3d graph or shown in a read out kinda like excel

Just kidding, I vote for AEM, used it in my DSM and it worked great.

P.S. Narrow band A/F gauges drop HS panties.
