How many of you guys run an a/f meter? I'm building an 11:1.1 b18c block and b16a head motor and I'm wondering if I should run an a/f meter. I bought a new one, but havn't hooked it up yet. I guess I'm thinking I really won't need it. I've got a p28 that is chipped, and I figure I can just tune it on the dyno and be done with it.

This is not some crazy motor, but I do hope to eventually make around 200whp

 

you dont need it.

An A/F meter that hooks up to the stock O2 sensor is useless. Wideband meters that use a wideband O2 sensor can be very handy for the DIYer.

 

If you have a good tuner you dont need it...its gonna make more light into your car thats it

 

I bought a PLX m300 unit, that comes with a wideband o2 sensor. I guess my original plan was to use it, but then I decided my friend who will do the tuning and chip burning should be able to use the a/f meter at the dyno.

In reality, do I really need to monitor the a/f ratio while I'm driving it? Probably not. I wouldn't make any major changes without retuning it.
