i just ordered an innovate motorsports LC-1 kit that comes with the XD-16 gauge. I've read some good review on it and the gauge is adjustable and resembles our stock gauges more i think. Other brands are tech-edge, PLX, NGK - i don't think you can go wrong with any of those, but do a search first

oh you probably want a datalogit to log the AFR against other variables

IS there any that is compatible with the PFC? Like in Plug and play, letting the ECU take it into consideration?

I just installed mine and it works great! Had the bung welded into my midpipe where the sensor could be ran through the shifter area. Do a search and you will find a few threads on this. Great info. GArret

if you want the absolute best and money isnt a problem get the plx 500 and the egt hook up! the most used and my favorite is the lm-1 and its debated but the lm-1 beats the lc-1 all day long for logging.... let the arguement begin

Many thanks, I was actually waiting for Fasthatch to release his software and connection box. I need to verify if he has this feature as well. if not, Datalogging is the way to go. :-)

I did the exact same with my PLX R-500 - Love it! I use it to datalog with the home computer and then the laptop after I got one, you don't need to hook it up to the PFC.

I could route the sensor down past the stock shifter easily, but after getting a short throw shifter I now have to remove the whole shifter from the tranny to get the sensor down through there when replacing the oxygen sensor.
