    Why you CANNOT use your stock Narrowband Sensors to tune WOT

    Now im not gonna go into the technical part too much, but the bottom line is stock Narrowband sensors are ONLY accurate at Stoich ~14.7:1

    Widebands are accurate pretty much anywhere between 10:1-20:1 in most cases.

    Bottom line, don't try to tune WOT with a narrowband because its pointless.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    aww man why not

    I try to tell people yet they still dont seem to care. I have tuned several cars, all 12.8:1 on the WB but the mV were all different even with new sensors.
