msd dashhawk? or sct livewire? i need help guys
ok i have a 2006 V6 auto with a K&n CAI and an axleback exhaust. i currently have a predator flash programmer on the car but it doesn't have a custom tune for a CAI. so i am afraid i am running lean. i dont really hear any pinging but i am still concerned. so i have the moeny and i wanted a data logger and display so i was wondering do i go with the MSD Dashhawk or get rid of the predator and go with the SCT livewire which would allow me to view my air/fuel and adjust it. my question is has anyone used either of these? can they both or either display the air/fuel ratio right through the regular port(i believe its obdII) or would i need to install an extra sensor? because if they do i can just get the dashhawk and tune it with my predator. so any and all input is greatly appreciated.
also what is the a good or normal ratio for a N/a 4.0l 6-cylinder mustang with just a CAI and echaust so i kno what to look for. also would it show up as a trouble could if it was lean?
thank you guys for your help.

As scrming stated, you need a wideband for the dashhawk and the livewire if you want to log the afr.
Personally I would of bought the livewire from Alternative Auto, with tunes for your car. They make me quickest bolt on.

RE: msd dashhawk? or sct livewire? i need help guys
yeah, K&N's dont even need a tuner to run. Like my AEM, the MAF housing is stock size and the only significant benefit is the filter itself. The predator has specific tunes for the C&L, Steeda and JLT only (i'm pretty sure) because of the larger MAF housing. These tunes are an addition to their regular 87, 91 and 93 perf tunes for stock intakes and aftermarket intakes with stock size MAF housings. Let us know how your new unit works out.

To view your A/F you will need to add a wideband O2 regardless of which device you go with. Currently though the Dashhawk doesn't have the ability to hook up a wideband.

The manual states so, but I do not have it hooked up. But the users manual
states that itCAN monitor a wideband sensor.
