aem makes a pretty cheap one I know a lot of the import guys use. Check your local ricer shop or poke around on the net.

I have an LM-1, and found it very simple to use. I would also get the aux input so that you can map RPM to AFR in your logging. You can also log voltages, MAP, etc if you have other sensors.

The sensor connectors are prone to water damage - take a look at their forums to see how people have worked around the problem. You can't just seal it up since it needs air into the connector for the 02 reference if I remember correctly.

I had the local exhaust shop mount the bung on my fuel injected camaro, and then did a permanent mount of the cable so that I could run it all the time. They are just now coming out with smaller units, but they are add ons and cost more - the actual unit itself is quite bulky for a permanent mount.

I'm having new exhaust put on my firebird this week, and will just run the 02 sensor when needed - no permanent mount.

They make a tailpipe bracket, but I've never used it.
