I've read the posts about the different widebands, but I was wondering if I could get a recommendation from you guys based on the my situation. I don't have HP Tuners yet. I plan to get it sometime in the next couple months (not sure if I'll get it before or after 2.0 comes out). But I know I want to be able to log wideband AFR. So I want to start looking for a wideband setup.
First off, I obviously want the price to be good. I don't want to spend way more than I need to.
Next, I will be tuning my 2002 Trans Am WS6 with HP Tuners and the wideband, AND I want to be able to use the wideband to tune older, non-computer controlled cars as well (i.e. carburated engines). HOWEVER, I have a good laptop, and if I can plug the wideband into it (for the older cars), I would rather log it with software on a computer. So essentially, I don't really need a handheld unit, since I will be using my laptop all the time.
Also, since I will be changing between vehicles a lot, I want a non-permanent setup. It needs to be reasonably easy to remove and change it to other vehicles.
Finally, because I'm tuning older vehicles, it needs to be able to log rpm. Without this, it would be basically useless for my purposes.
The Zeitronix setup looks really nice, but it seems like people are having problems incorporating HP Tuners with it. The LM-1 is good but I really don't need the handheld, and I would have to buy the RPM converter on top of the regular cost. The Dynojet I don't know much about, but it seems expensive. And I know nothing about PLX. Are there others available?
Can someone give me recommendations on the most cost effective wideband setup for my situation?
Thanks!
