Venom in my A/F ?!?

Has anyone used venom's a/f digital gauge. Does it just make a pretty light show or does it really work? If not then what a/f gauges do work?

Your going to pay out the ***, you will need a wide band o2 sensor for any proper readings.

So is it the gauge or the stock oxygen sensor that sucks?

Most guages are not acurate, L ||||||R it's like your water temp guage C |||||| H well..that's not telling you much. Obviously if your really really lean yea, you will know but i've seen them hop all over the place. They are basicly as usefull as the autometer guage clock. It just fills a hole in your pod.
The stock oxygen sensor will not give you the reading you are looking for, it is not acurate and does not have a wide band. If you get your car dyno'd they use a wide band o2, which will give you an exact air/fuel ratio. The WB o2 should come with some type of meter or display. Digital or Analog. Depends on what your wallet looks like. But if you want to know exactly what is going on then that is the way to go. If you need a pod filler, get the 50 dollar A/F guage.
