[QUOTE]Originally posted by FivePTSlow: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Luke87GT: [qb] I stopped reading half way through. A wideband is a cheap tool that tells you exactly what the A/F looks like. I refused to accept any arguments justifying not using one when installing a power adder or getting a new tune. Case and point... The first mail order tune I ever received showed a 14.2:1 A/F at WOT due to my CAI (it was supposed to be conservative). I would have never known if I didn't throw that wideband on it (until it blew up lol)... [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm not trying to justify not using a wideband. I have one on my other car and know first hand how valuable they are. I was actually thinking about just swapping it over to the stang for now since my other car is already dialed in. There are many things that I am in need of at the moment adding up to a few thousand $$$, so I've been picking up things as they have presented themself... meaning when I find really good deals on stuff I snag it [QUOTE]Originally posted by turbo50: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Luke87GT: [qb] I stopped reading half way through.

[/qb][/QUOTE]Wideband is a necessity along with boost and fuel gauges but I just cant believe you went with a mail order tune luke......data log it and send it back or just one tune??? [/qb][/QUOTE]I have a boost gauge in cab already on a pillar pod. Today I replaced my TPS and cleaned my MAF sensor and just did the base idle reset procedure. Drove around a couple miles and it runs a hell of a lot better and no audible detonation. No CEL's either so far. Got it from O'Reilly lifetime warranty! [/QB][/QUOTE]
