I had to calibrate the sensor as per instructions, which wasn’t difficult. The only down side is I have to have my lap top in my car to record the AFR information, then watch it back when finished…

You could always hook that up with a datalogger and then download the data. Even ebtter if the datalogger has a SD card, you don't even need to brignt he laptop in the car to download the data, you simply move the SD card.

Which is why I'll probably get the DashDyno and hook it up with both a wideband controller (still undecided between Innovate, PLX and Zeitronix) and an EGT probe. So I have those two info together with all the OBD sensors too, and can record up to 16 parameters at the same time...

EDIT: Does the Apexi AFC NEO monitor AFR? I thought you just used it to change it, but still needed a wideband for monitoring it...
