LM-1: Air/Fuel Tuner

[Ray@VSK]

Just bought one of these & wanted to say (incase u did not know) these meters are awesome, as all of us modify our motors we always have to retune our air/fuel ratios afterwords & dyno tunes are & can be very expensive (trust me I know) this thing takes the cake, for only $350.00 you can tune your air/fuel curves on as many cars as you want & better than what a dyno would as you can not only see what your ratios are in real time but you can record runs & transfer to your computer for anlaysis of realtime driving conditions not simulated (especially usefull for Ram Air setups) I spent $800 on dyno tunes & still was not able to get the performance or response time from what I was able to do with this LM-1 Meter, I am very happy with my purchase & just wanted to say for those who either did not know or don't have a dyno tuning shop in there area, this thing is easy to install & does not need to remain hooked up after a tune & if you ask me is something everyone should have, I know I sound like a sales men but I'm not, I'm just a very happy individual who stumbled upon & found this awesome meens now of correctly tuning my car

Where are you going to mount the wideband O2? I ask because our motors use two O2s, but there's only one sensor supplied.

Also, for anyone interested, I looked it up and here's the link:

The LM-1 comes with an 02 sensor bung that you can have welded in. It's best to get it welded in before your cats and on the leanest bank (which I believe is the left bank). I did not have room on my headers to weld it on the left bank so of course, it went into the right. No problems. Just keep in mind that the other bank may be just a hair leaner and you're set. As for disconnecting the LM-1 after your tune: I do hope that you're also removing the wideband sensor from your exhaust when you're not hooked up to a powered meter. Leaving the sensor in unpowered will eventually lead to a bad or dead sensor. The kit DOES provide a nice little cap for the 02 sensor bung if you choose to remove the sensor. I instead, leave the sensor permanently installed and have the LM-1 hard wired to ignition power. It heats up and operates each time I start the car. That keeps the sensor in good shape and is what is recommended if you choose to leave the sensor in the exhaust system.

Thanks for the schoolin' Daggar.

I'll eventually get around to getting something like that - one day.

Good luck with it, Ray!

In my case I have to unplug the stock o2 sensors as I'm needing to run 11.5 air/fuel so I simply screwed my wideband inplace of my unused o2's, as for not having 2 widebands, 2 are not needed, even the dyno shops only use one if I was worryed I could simply plug it in to the otherside to see what's going on there aswell, & yes I know not to leave a sensor hooked up if not being used
