    narrow is good for finding stoich which is good for fuel economy.

    wide is good for finding any value.

    which is critical in tuning at a car at anything but cruise because the car no longer knows what its doing, its merely guessing.

    a wideband will actually tell you something. a narrowband is just straight up not that useful unless youre looking for a gauge just to flash pretty colors and look like its doing something.

    youll find a lot of suggestions for either an AEM UEGO wideband or a LC1.

    it's really up to what you want. most, if not all, can be logged via a tuner.
