I haven't gotten to play with an LC-1 in person so had to resort to their website for your answer.

With the LC-1, you can add additional wideband channels to your LM-1, convert an existing narrow-band gauge, or add wideband capabilities to your dyno. You can even tune individual cylinders by using multiple LC-1 kits.
Andy, good info.
I had come across such a set-up (I think Millhouse used to have one). But how do you know what exact ratio you're seeing? Otherwise it would seem the gauge is kinda useless, no? Or maybe there is a way to interpolate the LEDs (and make a homemade bezel which has the ratio at that LED location)?
It's an interesting idea. Is it worth really pursuing?
Nope, I used the XD-16 gauge which has both color adjustable led's along with the digital read out.
FYI, there is a supr cheap and easy way to get a digital display for a wideband setup. You can pick up a digital mini led multimeter with a 0-5v input. You can find them that are capable of running off of 12V and have a dip switch to adjust the decimal. I've seen them on e-bay for ~$20 and you can mount them virtually anywhere.

Man, I just did something that I hate - I had you confused with a guy who was selling an LC-1 and NB AM gauge awhile back (his username is Milhouse; one L). I exhanged a few PM's with him which is why the username (albeit the wrong one) stuck with me. Apologies for that.
That's a cool tip on the cheapo digital readout. I'll be checkin it out.

Andy, thank you sir. I've been waiting for prices to come down (which they have in the last few years). I'd like to have a gauge just to see if something goes weird, or I need to try and change something a little (I have a Moates chip in the 94). Am I correct that the LC-1 would not be able to convert the 5 V signal to a 1V signal?
Kevin, the gauges are hot man! I like the mix (I think having indiglo-style gauges would annoy me in a pillar so I really like your blend).
Thats the reason why I did it that way. I felt the regular indiglo would be too bright up on the pillar so I did the reverse indiglo.
FYI: The guy that owns SpeedHut used to own Autometer. The qulaity of the gauges are TOP NOTCH! And you can customize them any way you want. They also have a lifetime warranty to boot! http://www.speedhut.com/Default.asp?bhcp=1
