New Innovate LC-2 wideband
LC-2 Wideband O2 Digital Air/fuel Ratio Controller
Doesn't require free air calibration anymore.
What is this world coming to? May grab one to test.

From what I am seeing they are making the right improvements. Mounting holes, built in LED indicator, no more stupid terminator plug, seems like a winner in my book. Innovate is always doing good things in the wideband world.

Why not get the MTX instead? MTX-L Wideband O2 Digital Air/fuel Ratio Gauge

I am not sure if it is a "need" or more of something you can do. I think I calibrated my original LC-1 maybe 3 times in the 3 years that I had it on my car. One of those times was right before I went in for a dyno tuning, the other 2 were times when I had everything out of the car and was making changes. Other then that I had zero issues with needing to calibrate it.

Once the unit has been wired and a suitable location has been found for both the gauge and the sensor it is time to do the sensor calibration. Innovate Motorsports’ ‘Direct Digital’ wideband measurement principal allows you to calibrate the sensor to compensate for sensor wear. This procedure takes just a few moments and it will insure the most accurate readings throughout the oxygen sensor’s life. This procedure is required anytime a NEW oxygen sensor is installed. The calibration procedure requires that the oxygen sensor be in free air, not in the exhaust. Important: Just because a vehicle is not running does not mean that the exhaust system is free of gases.

I went MTX-L as I like the calibration so I know it's accurate. Also I want a real gauge and the MTX-L comes with one. If the LC-2 remains as accurate without calibration than that is win.

Why does everyone throw a bitch fit because a wideband can occasionally be calibrated for accuracy?
I calibrate my WB each time before I put it into someone exhaust and its like no inconvenience at all. I don't see how someone doing a permanent install could find this to be so tedious.
"You mean I have to wait like 10 seconds before I put the sensor in the bung!? **** that, I aint got all day."
"I have to hook a laptop up to my ecu to tune it? I'll just stick with a RRFPR and a check valve. Why can't I tune from my Iphone?" (basically the same mentality if you ask me)

Why is my statement of why I purchased the AEM suddenly "throwing a bitch fit"?
I want to bolt **** up to my car, and then drive it. I fully know that's not what will happen, but let me dream. I don't want to have to remove the O2 sensor to calibrate it after the calibration goes off, even if it only takes 10 seconds. That's 10 seconds I'll save by using the AEM.
