I have one that i just bought from Azad but installed in my car as a guage and is not that easy to remove. I know Nik used to have one that was alot easier to remove and install. If you cant find one to use then sometime after cayuga I can take mine out and you can use it.

The best would actually go to a dyno and get it horsepower tuned.

A given afr wont give you max hp. and I dont think the butt dyno will tell you if you gained that 5-15 hp.

Tapp Auto Dyno tune for max hp is $ 120-$ 160 ( thats with Chriss tunning AFR and MAX HP ).

Probably the best option.

Yeah, my wideband wiring harness is actually soldered into the main harness, so not so easy to remove unfortunately.
if you actually want a wideband for yourself, the Zeitronix ZT-2 is a good priced option.

but if you just want it tuned once and then forget about it, taking it to the dyno would be the best thing to do.
but, before you go make sure you do a little research as to what general AFRs are good, and then tune from there. a little safety margin is good because the stock ECU i have noticed is not very consistent with AFRs...but, NA is not so much an issue as a forced-induced rotary. i have hit ~14.0 at WOT and nothing bad happened.

i can give you my SAFC corrections as a guideline maybe, but those will just be a ballpark of what you will need.

Theres not that much info for AFR on NA, thats and most turbo guys tune for safeness.

With NA I think that you can play around with the afr for max horsepower.

Chriss knows the SAFC like the back of his hand, so for the hour of tune hell do a very good job.

yup, just saying the stock ECU is wierd i have found. it does different things on different days, depending on what if feels like doing, haha. i'll have it tuned nicely, then the next day i see it is off by 0.5 AFR in some places.
but yeah, taking it to a place like Tapp auto is a good choice if you want to go that way.
