Just finished ordering a PimpXS setup for my 92 LX 351 EFI swap. Can't wait to get it here and start playing around with it!!  Quick question. I've been searching around here but I probably just have missed it. What Wideband O2 should I order to compliment the PimpXS? I have 2 narrow O2s in the stock locations right now on the H-Pipe. Do I run a single wideband and plug the other factory opening? Thanks everyone! |

There isn't any specific info posted about this because you can basically run whatever wideband you want. As long as they have a 5v analog output they work (I've only seen one Autometer model not have this, all others I've ever seen do). Popular choices are the AEM 30-4110 and Innovate MTX-L.
You can run a single wideband (we suggest trying it on both sides to see which bank is leaner and leaving it in that side so you know the other side is always richer (safe), not leaner (dangerous) than the reading. You can run two widebands if you want. The factory sensors aren't needed but can be utilized if you insist.

Awesome. Thank you for the info! I'm not a huge fan of the "dancing lights" gauges that typically come with the kits, but is the gauge something that you or most would recommend as a backup to monitor the AFR and verify against the Pimp dashboard?

Not all of the gauges have the "dancing lights", some are just the number with no lights. I personally like having a gauge so I know the AFR when the laptop isn't connected. This is more important with a boosted engine where going too lean will melt pistons rather than just running bad like an N/A engine. AEM and Innovate both offer wideband setups without gauges as well if that's what you're after.

If you don't care for a gauge, the 14point7 Spartan works great. Ms3 firmware has an "AfR Safety" feature that can be setup to "watch out" for you.

I decided to go with a gauge setup after thinking about it for a bit. It would be a good feature to have when I finally get the turbo on the car. I ended up ordering the Innovative MTX-L with a Bosch 4.9 sensor.
Thanks for the help guys and I appreciate your time!
