Arrow Need help choosing Wideband. AEM or LC-1

I am trying to get some feedback / opinions on which stand alone a/f controller is overall better (i.e. reliable, ease of install, cost of install, and function) Please list any experiences with either one because I can get them for pretty much the same price (the LC-1 would be used).

I'm with Bryant on this one. Innovative makes a much better product and has better customer service from my experience. But FYI, I use a techedge on my car.

If you need a cheap guage/logger for your LC-1 go here. They also have combos.

Not too many AEM fans here. Search and you'll see why. No need to rehash old information when you can search.

I didn't know you had to register. I read it without registering. The conclusion is that the Innovate kicks every single other widebands but in measuring times and precision. It had the best measuring even over the PLX! I think accuracy was within .1 AFR with PLX was .3.

Go Innovate!

I have the LC-1 with the XD-16 (I think that is the designation) gauge and also have it hooked into my datalogit for integrated logging capabilities. . .Couple of years and no problems at all. . .very happy with the setup.

I've got the AEM gauge, have had it installed since July and it seems to be working just fine so far.

I dont know why people are bad mouthing the AEM wideband, I have one and had a microtech wideband they were both very close the difference was barely a .2 or .3 difference. considering the microtech wideband is very accurate. I think the AEM is a very reliable wideband.

I have the AEM hooked up to the PFC datalogit, works perfectly. The gauge shows 10-18 but it can log 10-20
