Is anyone running widebands with a tuner? Planning to get a DS Trinity in the future (possibly inTune) with the HF tune and was wondering if there was any value in a wideband O2. I didn't see many threads about it here, so maybe that answers the question.

if you're running a relatively stock truck, IMO no need for a wideband. The tuners out there have a pretty good idea of your WOT A/f based on their experience. If you have a more modified engine/cam/longtubes/forced induction, you're gonna need one.

Like mentioned, without boost or a bigger cam, there is no need for a wideband with Hemifever tuning your truck. Look at our shop truck...this thing is the quickest N/A 4th gen in the country, and we are still running the initial baseline tune that Hemifever sent us before installing headers. We do not have a wideband on this truck, nor have we even sent him a clean datalog to go over the tune. He has enough experience tuning these trucks to get you dialed in almost perfect without having to spend extra money on gauges.

Thanks for the feedback guys, that answers my question. Matt- thanks as always for your honest opinion rather than selling me a gauge I don't need :)
