      I have the LC-1... it's not in yet though.

      what's the price difference? my LC-1 was $199.

        If you don't care about accuracy, then ether one will work.

            I believe the AEM is like $300 as to the $200 LC-1. But the LC-1 doesen't come with a gauge..


            Accuracy?? I thought they both were pretty accurate. Please explain wat u mean?

              They are both really good units. There is more integration with MS with the LC-1. The AEM unit is super nice as well and the wideband controller is built into the gauge. I have been using my LC-1 for a year and love it. Works great. I have the mega baller Digital XD-1 gauge.

                I don't really need a gauge for my purposes.. how much is a nice digital gauge though? it might still be slightly cheaper to get the LC-1 and a separate gauge.

                  diyautotune has innovate stuff, it's where I got my LC1. The LC1 has no gauge as mentioned before and is a very quality piece (however I have not used mine myself), and the gauges aren't cheap. So hmm, I wonder why the AEM one costs $100 bucks more? The price isn't everything, and if something costs more it doesn't mean it's better. However, if you want to use that logic, the LC1 with that xd-16 gauge is $399. There are cheaper gauges there as well, that's a multi gauge or something. There's a cheaper analog gauge, and an LC1+cheaper digital gauge for 90 more than the LC1 alone. Just FYI.

                    I had the LC-1/XD-1 and liked them a lot. Very reliable and very accurate.

                        You can get a DB gauge from innovate for like 90 bucks. Not quite as fancy as the XD-1(6), but still nice.

                            sensors are cheap, only reads to the tenth

                            (cheap as in mass produced $30 VW sensors)

                            mine reads to the thousandth, but is considerably more expensive ($$$$)

                              Who gives a fuck what your daddy has, You REALLY don't need that kind of accuracy. If you are tuning to those significant figures you are going to have problems with any barometric or temperature fluctuation... There have been MANY 1000+ hp engines tuned with normal bosch wideband sensors..
