Which wideband 02 system

Been looking around for a wideband o2 sensor to tune the 7. Its carbd 48dcoe ported s5 motor with full RB streetport exhaust.------ive been looking at the innovative- Innovate DB-Series Air/Fuel Gauge Kits. I did some searches and found that a ford magazine "battle of the widebands" but didnt find out which one was the best. what do you guys think?

innovate motorsports lc1 would be my choice, with whatever gauge you want weather it be db series or the xd if you want to display more than one type of data at a time (would require more than just the lc1 howver)

I like the db series gauge in the red since its the same back lighting as stock. I dont want a bunch of lights and off colors in an old school ride. All i really need is a reliable a/f ratio id like to tune it on the leaner side for improved fuel economy at part throttle cruising.

Innovate LC-1 has been having some problems. Go to www.tuneyourengine.com and look on the forum. I'd wait or buy something else until they get everything sorted.

I guess a better question might be who is using what and how well do they like it. I really just need it to fine tune the weber48 and monitor it too.

AEM UEGO is what I use in the REPU. Never steered me wrong. It shows the a/f in numeric form and has a LED that moves around the perimiter of the gauge too. So you can look at a glance to see where the little colored LED is to get a general idea. Their tech support was responsive and helpful on their website.

What if you have the RB streetport system? Where do you mount the sensor to?

i was looking at the AEM uego. kinda pricey though. Thats a good question about the dual o2 sensor (1 for each rotor) I have a RB streetport setup so i would have to (if i did) locate the bung and sensor where the muffler starts(sounds like a bad idea locating all the way back there though. If one were to purchase to sensors and harness's would you just hneed to splice them together to read at the single guage?

AEM said with rotaries which run hot, to put the O2 sensor a certain distance after the motor, but not too far. With the RB streetport header this translates to about a foot after the header flange. I put it on the front rotor pipe. If you put it all the way back where the 2 pipes collect then it's too cold back there and you won't get a good reading.
