Do I need a wide bang?

[Shawn Anderson]

I am very close to done with the never ending 05 Mustang project. I am not sure I need to run a wide band 02 in the car as I am not tunning it myself. It may be cheap insurance to run a wide band and keep a eye on the air/fuel or is not needed since I won't monkeying with the tune? If I am being a dumb/cheap ass let me know.

It's cheap insurance for sure, maybe a down the road expense? If you are using a supercharger or turbo, then definitely.

I meant wide band... not wide bang would gues that is what happens after too many beers picking up a chicks at last call.

wouldn't you need a wide bag?

I would get one just for the sheer entertainment value.

However by having one and watching it, you can develop a knowledge of what is normal for your car and then apply that knowledge to future upgrades.

PS. Try and get an analoge one like BBR has! Definitely more intuitive.

Yes - get one - and put the gauge somewhere in your view when looking down track - like A pillar or next to tach on dash.

If you go lean under boost - you want to know NOW and get out of it.... right?

One more gauge telling you that it's about to blow.... sometimes I wonder if we have too much info

I do not want to invade thread it is related..
but am I reading this correctly as stand alone? that mean it functions all on its own?

I have blown an engine.. and I am thinking now I was 100% too small. (the past for my rice haunts me too)

[BBR]

Yes that is a stand-alone.

Yes that is a stand-alone.

that seems worth it.
even a grungy used engine is over a grand.

wide bangs are fun. Like a moped. Just don't get caught riding it.

Didn't you get a Sean Hyland mill? The wideband is cheap compared to that mother.
