I haven't set them side by side with a baseline unit so I don't know. I guess maybe a magazine has done a comparison article or, maybe if Jeff and I have some spare time during one of my trips west, we could do our own comparison.

OK, I misunderstood - The Autometer is not Lambda? FFS. You really are changing the stoich value for the various fuels, not the lambda. Lambda is independant of fuel, as you know. 1.0 is stoich for everyfuel, from gasoline to methanol to nitromethane to diesel.
Lambda, Lambda, Lambda.....

Really, the question isn't about "accuracy" but driver methods.
All of the top gauges appear to be pretty accurate.
However, it is important to take into consideration the controller circuitry employed.
One of the bad things about the Innovate stuff is their "switching" controller, which eventually leads to sensor failures.
I'm not up to speed on the other options, so caveat emptor.
Absolutely correct. We should all be chastised for using AFR because it is really not a good way to do things.
Even gasoline will change AFRs at the same lambda as a result of different localities and formulations.

Plugs look great---now just imagine what the rotors are looking like.
Install my today---finally--- a 175 nozzle came with the kit so i will be using that---pre blower. Set the controller at 3 and full on at 4.8?
Mine will be a trunk mount with the 7 quart size tank---wish I knew how to post pics!!!

if you are using meth how "user intensive" is it? ie how often do you have to check levels / fill up, and so on?
Also is it always on? or is it triggered by a temp sensor, a throttle sensor or whatever?

Juan; Are those new plugs that were never carboned(they stayed clean), or did the methanol actually clean them?
Just wondering if my plugs are that clean now...

My Snow Performance controller is set for MAF (can also be set for Boost) and it receives the signal from the yellow/red wire that is located on the MAF connector.
The controller has two other control *****. One for turning the pump on and the other to control when to apply full voltage to the pump.
I'm using a 100/ml nozzle per blower and used less than an 1/8 of the OEM windshileld washer bottle after over 400 miles and an autocross event.

The dirty plug picture is of a OEM plug I have before the meth kit installation and with @ 1500 miles since original install.
