Is this a noisy or normal signal?
I'm a bit worried. My gauge will only go to 21.5 full lean instead of 21.9, and last time this happened my o2 signal was ridiculous. This is not as bad, but the frequency is way faster.
Am I just being paranoid?
I'm assuming it may just be a gauge problem, this log shows 21.9

I've installed/fixed 6 LC-1s and never had a problem.

Wideband systems are finnicky, and they're just barely mainstream tech at this point. Folks have had problems and success stories with pretty much every unit out there.

Out of curiosity where do you guys get your power from, and where do you put your grounds? Not in much of a mood to experiment, I want to make this work the first time (or in this case like the 5th time).

I ground it on the support brace for the center dash. I pretty much crimpped the dimming wire with the ground and bolted it to the brace.
I think you have two separate grounds right? If they are coming out of the sensor, you should look for something in that area, but away from the exhaust. if your grounds are coming out of the gauge (like mine), I would find a decent area under the dash. glove box area has a few bolts you can use too.
just make sure you clean any paint off from under the bolt/crimp.

Splice/plug into power window connector (near shifter), plenty of current there... and if you don't have power windows you can actually just plug into the connector with crimp connectors. Use the ground there for power ground. I've done a couple cars this way with LC1 and 14 point 7 WB. Both cars are winning to this day. (make sure the signal ground is run to the sensor ground close to the ECU)
