If you have cats it seems that installing the Wideband O2 sensor downstream of them will not give an acurate reading?Does anybody know if that is true or is there a calibration factor that takes this into account?
[/align][/align]Installed after the cats the readout from a WB sensor will be accurate however it will be an accurateslightly dampened,sort ofaveraged, reading of the AFR. This can be preferable in some circumstances. [/align][/align]I've neverdone a dyno run where they didn't use a tailpipe sniffing WB sensor, and that is definitely after the cats and then some...[/align]

My last s/c kit I built I went with summit's wb kit ($250)
Uses the lc-1 controller with a gauge. Cheaper than ordering innovates kit with the gauge.
I've used the aem 6in1 aswell. They're pretty cheap if you get them off of ebay. (around $240 after shipping)
both come with the controller, gauge, & sensor.

Readings after the cat are pretty accurate.....at higher rpm / load. The cats have liitle to no time to react chemically at high rpm. Idle and cruise it should read 14.7-14.6...cats working. I do not recommend this way though!!!!!!

We use the innovate and Sniper.

I would recommend going higher than 14.7 for cruise conditions for better fuel economy. I've ran two cars up to the 16's. The last one I did was set at 16.3:1 at cruise. Not all are the same though, some cars can go higher. I adjust up until surging then back off .2-.3
