    Looking to do a Wideband install

    So I want to hook up a wideband to my OBD2 camaro and get her all dialed in, or at least see what's going on. Car is running great, don't get me wrong, but it does still seem like it might be a bit on the rich side. And after all the mods and the tune I had done, I want to make sure it's where it should be as far as A/F is concerned. So what all do I need.. or should I say what is the process?
    I was going to go with the AEM eugo, it seems like an easy install and a lot of good reviews on various web sites. I know some of you on here run widebands, so I guess I'm just looking for a point in the right direction.
    What are the top companies that make these?
    Do I Need both O2 sensors to be widebands, or can it run off just one?
    Is the install as easy as they say on youtube lol?
    How much will it cost for the whole thing, sensors and all?

    Everyone says this is a must have mod. I tend to agree, especially if running forced air. But is it necessary for a bolt-on LT1? I think it's good to have, but what do you guys think?

    Keep the stock 02's, they are needed for closed loop if you are running it on the PCM.

    Keep it in front of the cats, post cat install can affect reading in the lower RPM range

      It's really a pretty straightforward install - as Mike said, keep them ahead of the cats, and leave the stock O2s in.

        If you don't have tuning software - it's not going to do much good.

        That being said - buy an NGK AFX with the NTK sensor.

          Yeah I have long tubes and no cats, just the two O2's on the headers so I'm good there.

            What like a cable to datalog? I got into this before about tuning OBD2 and it seems to require a lot more hardware than the OBD1's. What would I need to just alter the A/F settings? I'm near stupid when it comes to tuning. So what software would be needed to have a "entry level" setup?

              ^This. I have both the AEM and the AFX. I run the AEM all the time as a gauge but I use the AFX when I'm tuning and want to be accurate. The AEM doesn't have a way to free air calibrate so yuo don't have any idea if its right....
