I'd pass on the A/F gauge(although I have one). I'd get a wideband with a digital reading, so you know your exact AFR.

Unless the wideband is for the tuning (my tuner has a wideband that he uses while tuning) basically all i want the A/F for is to know if im running lean, and that i know its a BAD idea to spray. If the Normal A/F isnt good enough for this then i dunno..

That was the same thought process I had when I was going that direction. IF you do go the A/F route, make sure to get it calibrated by the dood who does the calibration, I'm having a brain fart right now and can't remember the name of the guy. Otherwise, its just an annoying light show.

Just by the standalone wideband with gauge from innovate motorsports.
It is basically and LC-1 with a nice white on black or black on white digital gauge that will fit in a 60mm gauge slot. Like a conversion on the coin tray.
It works awesome.

While we're discussing tuning, is it possible to have a "performance" tune that's still safe for nitrous? Or would that type of tune start leaning out the car?
Also, I have the ProFlow MAF; can this stay, or is this going to make tuning the car more difficult?
One last one; I have an SCT XCAL2; can anyone recommend a web-based tuner (a la Brenspeed, ADC, or wait, no, I got it...... Hypnotic Illusions, right?!)?
Thanks guys!
Edit: The full NGK part number is 739-TR6, correct?

TR6's at 1 step colder is what i go with. make sure you have a good set of plug wires. dont use any v type electrodes, or platinum etc. just standard copper core. i use a MSD ignition because it has a step retard with step off delay. which means my car isnt a dog with retarded timing when im off the nitrous, and i dont have to worry about a flip switch tune. you need a bottle heater, and a purge. pressure guage is a must. i run a fuel pressure guage instead of a safety switch but i would suggest the safety switch, get the one set at 30 psi.
