Hi Jonathan,
Thank you for the lead on the Innovate Wide Band A/F guage, looks good and cheap enough. Will get in touch with the seller.
BTW, while having lunch with my buddies earlier, we were talking about my experience of lossing 46 hp with my car. It seems that one of them had a bad experience with the same shop, as his modified Porsche had 3 consecutive runs, the 1st recorded a whopping 1000hp at the flywheel, 2nd run had it at 600hp and the last at 670hp, all within the same day. When he questioned the technician, he could not come up with a plausible explanation. Moral lesson of the story, they recommended that I try another shop, which has a rolling road dynamometer, for a more accurate reading of my hp. I have scheduled a session with them for Tuesday, next week. I will post the results, good or bad. BTW, with this other shop, they will use a wide band A/F monitor during the baseline run.
Again, highly appreciate the lead on the meter,
Chicky

Yes, they are reasonably priced and once you get used to having one around worth Many times their cost!
Interesting on the dyno, I suppose another dyno for comparisons sake would be handy for reference sake...
Good luck with it.

Thank you Jonathan, but I'm positive on this.
