If you'll give me a couple weeks, I've been working on something youd be interested in.
Of note, an AF from the stock O2's is useless. You need a wide band.

Just like magindat said, what you really want is a wideband O2 sensor. That a/f gauge will be nothing more than a unaccurate light show in your car...

Dynojet makes a very nice wide-band O2 system and it is capable of datalogging as well. Do not waste your money on those cheap things as they will be nothing more than a cutesy light show.

I have the AEM wideband, good option for making sure all is well. Whatever you do, don't read A/F from your stock sensors... nothing but a pretty light:down:

I really like my DynoJet WBC... just program the warning light to come on below a given AFR threshold and it's good for hours of entertainment.

I use a Innovative Motorsports LM-1 on my car, it also has datalogging capability.

Not sure how to send a PM (i'm new), what exactly would you like to know???

1.) Is the OS sensor permanently connected the LM-1 device or does it detach from the rear.
2.) Do you use the window mount.
3.) How do you rate this unit over others.
4.) Was the installation difficult?

The answer is that no one has bothered to do it because it's a waste of time and money, if you aren't gonna do wide band, don't bother

1. You could unplug it from the box if you wanted to.
2. I don't have it mounted at all, i ran the wires behind the dash and i keep it in the glove box and out of sight. It only comes out when i tune or want to look at the reading in real time.
3. This is the only wideband i've used but i have no complaints.
4. Easy

Non-wideband A/F's are horrible. I have an AEM in my stang, my wife's cobra, and soon one in the marauder.
