The Innovative works well and integrates with Powerlogger easily. Can be purchased from Full Throttle and other sources.

No. Not if you are planning to continue to use your stock ECM.

Which one you chose depends on how you are going to use it. IF you just want to integrate it with a scan tool, then the LC-1 should be fine. If you want a display as well, or do not want to use with a scan tool, a different selection may be best.

I understand, so the lc1 is pretty much for tuning purposes. It wont benefit performance in anyway? I wouldn't mind having the a/f ratio gauge on the dash.

Yea sorry bout the link I dropped the ball on that one. To make this simpler what innovate 02 should I purchase out of Fullthrottle. Im using it with the powelogger.

OK last question on this topic what is the difference between these products
Innovate XD-16 Standalone Kit w/LC-1
Innovate DB Blue Kit w/LC-1 & O2 sensor
Innovate G2 Gauge kit with LC1 & Sensor
Innovate G3 Gauge kit with LC1 & Sensor
I see all of these are LC1 but I guess it has something to do with the gauges if im not mistaken. Sorry to be a PITA but I don't wanna buy the wrong thing.

you dont need a gauge if you have a power logger

I use the XD-16 gauge to read the LC-1 without having to use my laptop and PL all the time, and used it to make sure the readings matched. It can be used to shoe A/F or other readings if you set it up to.

Cool pic man I think ill just buy one with a simple gauge doesnt hurt to have it. Also from the looks of the pic you sent me its not that big at all would be real easy install.

i now moniter my wideband 02 sensor from my scanmaster, thats wired into the powerlogger port, so now i get real time streaming data display on my scanmaster

with the wideband selected on the scanmaster you can also moniter knock counts at the same time...

I have a PLX setup with the LC1 sensor, works great and it is modular so you can add other stuff to it later and it hooks into powerlogger like a charm.

Tuning is what contributes to performance gains (or losses).
So if the proper tuning tools are available, a WBO2 is indespensable!!

The LC1 with the XD-16 gauge is a good combo if you need a gauge.

I use the PLX brand SM-AFR (Christmas gift). It's also a good unit, and is performing perfectly, however there's a caveat. PLX's customer service is absolutely horrible!!!

I left the stock O2 in place and mounted the WBO2 down low in the downpipe (so it doesn't get overheated).

Because I have the Powerlogger, my Scanmaster is plugged into it, and I can monitor WBO2's on the Scanmaster, so I didn't need the gauge.
