That type of A/F guage will do really no good. Unless you have a wideband O2 with display, these others are pretty much for looks IMHO. You definitely do not want to tune or trust it for reading possible issues with engine.

Just my 2 cents though....

Ya Im not looking to tune my car at all.

Just thought it would help so I didnt spray when my car was leaning out and I could watch it as I was spraying to make sure everything safe.

Again, really won't tell you much, especially when spraying.

Sorry ...

Those things suck, they arent reliable at all dont waste your money. With just a 65 shot you should be just fine I used to squeeze 75 on my sohc without any problems.

It should help at wot only and thats when you want to know whats going on when spraying i have the zex wet kit and it is activated at WOT. so i think it will be beneficial to you when at wot but during normal idle or daily driving it will just be a light show.

This is the chip they use in that meter. Build one yourself for cheap.

Portable light show. Readings off of the stock o2 sensor.... suck. Its possible it might show you something at WOT, but these things really are more like a light show than a gauge reading.
