Default Decent Air Fuel Ratio Gauge?

I'm looking for a decent Air Fuel ratio to run my Zex kit. I don't have the money for wideband but just something to know I'm not running lean. The Autometer is crap. Any other? I don't want those jumping LEDs. They're doing nothing.

What about this one?

it still uses your stock o2 sensor.

I would say forget the Air/Fuel Ratio gauge, those things are gay. I'd go with an EGT(Exhaust Temp.) gauge.

Because that is how they function. It's just a light show.

I would assume simply because it uses the stock O2 sensor.

none, they are all narrowband so they suck. get a techedge wideband DIY kit, run you like 250 total for the kit, and o2 sensor depending on ur deals u find.

I know that. Like I said I don't have the money for an expensive wideband. The gauge I showed you guys is one step better than the Autometer bcuz it's showing the actual voltage of the sensor. So at least you know exactly the condition of the car. Not some LEDs running up and down.
