lc-1 vs aem uego, whatcha know about them?

Ive been looking at the lc-1 for a while now and i'm ready to buy one but recently i did some more research on the lc-1 and ive read some things that i did not like, such as having to recalibrate it pretty often. So i started looking at the AEM UEGO which seem like a cool option.

All i need is a wideband that will tell me real time readings just so i can tune my blow-thru setup. i do not need computer capabilities and such and wanted to stay around the 200 price range.

Which one have you guys had good luck with? opinions? concerns? any help is highly appreciated

I do like the LC-1.

Calibration isnt a big deal and its easy and quick to do, u can also cheat around it and not remove it if u calibrate installed in car after it has sat overnite and it will be fine.

Sensors run u about 40$ if u have connections at a dealer or parts house and find other apps that use the sensor.

Think what u will, but most wide band setups have very similar setup inside circuitry wise(long story to all this).

Lc-1 has been good to me and I cant complain other than having to resolder the power lead once when it broke, but I use mine in all my cars and tons of other peoples cars as well.

thanks for the info. Are you talking about replacement o2 sensors?

do you have any personal experience with the AEM UEGO?
