How does a wide band display info?
Does it tell you the exact afr?

what EMS do you plan on running? Wargasm has a good setup with the PFC, datalogit and wideband.

Not sure yet, But when i get around to doing more with my car next year. I will need more fuel so the purple box i have now isnt gonna cut it. I've been browsing the AEM forum and it looks liek a cool *** unit. Its either that or PFC so far. But I am not serious about buying anything at the moment. I have to learn hoe to go about tunning my car first. My last tuner turned out to big a Big jack *** that I can't stand now so I'm starting the learning process on my own as far as tunning goes. Hopefully my car holds out till i learn.

FOR EXAMPLE
the pfc is a super easy install, and runs the stock stuff, but its a little harder to tune cause you need the datalogit
the tec3 is harder to install, its more invasive to the car, you have to mount the coils, and the ecu, the software is intimidating, but it gives you lots of options
the e6k can be easy to install, it will run all of the stock stuff if you want it, its easy to program, the interface is simple. its a little limited to the amount of stuff that it can run (fans/emissions solenoids etc)

The PFC is easy to work with when using the datalogit. Wargasm plugged his datalogit and wideband into my car and we did some tunning a few weeks ago. The software is really simple, and as long as you arent refarted with computers that would be good. I picked it up pretty well after a few hours of tunning, even being the driver
aww did you and mr rikki have a fight? j/k

you can down load the manual for the haltech at the haltec site, i think. i read thru that, i understand a bit more about tuning, its haltech specific, but its still helps.....
