Default afr gauge

well, im going to get an sct tuner as soon as i sell my old subs =] so i want to pick up a good afr gauge to make sure the tuner doesnt lean my car out too much or anything and also for future use as i plan on putting spray on in the future.

Now ive looked on american muscle and found a gauge but i know that it needs a wideband not the normal narrow band 02 sensors but where can i pick up one complete with a wideband, or are the mustang 02s already widebands?

I have an autometer wideband, it comes with a bung that you get welded in before your cats at the collector on the manifold/header, It was REALLY easy to install too. I don't have mine connected to my tuner, and don't ever plan to.

i wasnt planning on hooking it to my tuner either, just making sure the a/f ratios are in check but the stock narrow band will work?. i know that aem makes gauges that come with a wide band o2 sensor but im not sure if that style sensor will work with the mustang. I'll check out the auto meter one. any more suggestions

Yeah that one will work. I went with Autometer over the AEM due to the fact that my cluster is Autometer and I wanted my gauges to match

don't forget you need 2 if your running true dual exhaust as you need to check A/F at both bank's
