Narrow band Air fuel

[Makdaddy]

I got a Glow shift narrow band A/F gauge with my turbo kit
I always ran wideband on my blower setups and like them (AEM)

My son has one of these narrow bands on his GTP and he seems to like it

So am I fooling myself with a narrow band setup?

Should I sell the gauge and just spend the extra coin on a wideband?
I know i cant put a wideband Bosch oxygen sensor on the Glowshift

So should I give the narrow band a shot??
This will only be a street show car No track time

What little I have read tells me the narrow band is about as accurate as your stock oil pressure gauge, worthless until it's too late. It may look good in the pod, though.

Utterly worthless.

Good for a cool light show. Thats about it

Narrowband is worthless. Chuck it in the trash and buy a wideband.

I concur

Remove it, sell it, and use what you can get to buy a wideband.

Not much you can read from a narrow band.

Most Widebands have a range of 10-18:1 ratio's. so you can actually see it sweep and keep up with where it is.

Narrow band only keeps track of stoich 14.7:1...so anytime it's less than 14.7:1 is will show as rich only, anytime above 14.7:1 is will show as lean.....so you can only imagine how fast that would just jump back and forth and never stay still.

Cool

Thanks guys

Just wanted to be sure

So know I may just dump both gauges and start all over with something that will match my parchment interior
I need a little black friday magic on gauges
