Geri Wrote:The wideband commander is nice but it can't hold a light to a LM-2 and it costs at least 1/3 more. They also come pre-calibrated and offer no calibration schedule which means that you cannot adjust for sensor degradation over time nor changes in altitude/atmospheric pressure. It's also quite slow-responding (relatively) whereas the LM-2 is fast enough to pick-up individual cylinder misfires.
Anyone want to buy a Wideband commander?
Geri, I have noticed than it can lag slightly and by slightly I mean .2-.3 of a second.
I have played around with the AFR and RPM smoothing function on the WBC and I believe it makes it easier to analyze the data when it is smoothed and not so fluctuant. Sometimes too much data can be as bad as not enough.
How do you compensate for sensor degradation? I know that they do degrade, but what do you use as a baseline to compare your sensor to?
As far as pricing goes, I have seen the WBC for as little as $429USD on Hardracing.com. I havent seen the innovate cheaper than $479USD.
If you are running a PC3 and a WBC they can be plugged into the new Dynojet LCD to consolidate data if you decide to go down that path.
Just found out there is a new WBC out now WB2.

There is no strong performance without a little fanaticism in the performer
