I've been wanting to buy an Innovate LC-2 for ages now but every time I go to do so, I think "what's the point?".
I know it'll be more accurate with the wideband, but is it worth the $250 and major headaches of installing everything? I just don't think so. What will I gain after hundreds of dollars and a lot of time, work and stress/headaches? 5kw's? 1% better fuel mileage? Big deal.
I can already see that I'm running 11.96 A/F at WOT (now with my "new" PCM/tune) and my fuel trims are a bit on the lean side at part throttle... so (why) can't I just lean it out a bit at WOT to say 12.7 and richen it up a bit at part throttle? Wouldn't it be accurate/good enough?
I've never been one to take shortcuts and do things the easy way and am a bit of a perfectionist, especially with my car... but all this tuning + widebands + recording runs to fill out "histograms" business, just doesn't seem worth it.. especially for a road car / daily driver / non sub-10second drag car.
