I have an LM-1 on one of my cars and an LC-1 on the other. I like them both equally and have never had a problem with either. I would get a pair of LC-1's if I did it again since they are smaller and I don't actually look at the LCD display on the LM-1 and I've never used it to datalog.

You might ask why I even bought the LM-1 if I don't use it to datalog or watch it... well, the LC-1 didn't exist when I bought it years ago. Now I also have an XD-1 (on the car where AFR really really matters) to watch it and a NB Autometer gauge taking a 0-1V linear on the other car to give me a general light to watch.

plx m300 ftw! I installed it yesterday. had some problems at first(user errors) but now its great. now I need a damn laptop! tuning solely off the wideband and rpms is kinda difficult, but o wells.

Not the greatest idea doing it yourself since it takes your eyes off the road. Did that a few times and had some close calls. :1

well, I live on a lonely, empty road. hardly any kids around the area too. but yea, Ive been going at it for like an hour, but I gave up. its hard to know where to ------- make the changes since I dont know what vaccum is how much throttle. laptop pwns me.

Get the RPM converter and you can record with the LM1 and then review on your desk top PC.

LC-1 gets my vote if you plan on doing a permanent install. Only have to run one O2 sensor in the car since you can program it to simulate a narrowband output.

If I ever end up tuning some more cars then I would probably go with something else. Most likely the a PLX for simplicity.
