Wideband has a purpose. Just not on a mildly modded car.
It takes quite a bit to get yourself into the 'zone' where you have to be concerned with the data in that detail and accuracy.
I'm adding one this season, but I've gone quite far without one up to this point.

Id love to run a wideband, I just cant afford it and I have nothing major done to my beloved bonni. On my turbo corrado i did my tuning based upon my cheapy air fuel gauge and I went 12.9 in the quarter.

It is better than my old method of tuning a nitrous motor...i.e. running it way rich on the fuel jet, seeing how far down the track the motor will pull before getting flooded with gas, then backing down a jet and repeating until the car pulls the entire quarter without flodding the motor.
Btw, anybody else remember the old A/F gauges that were factory options from GM? (think back to the mid 70'*...GM was putting "Fuel Economy" gauges in the dash...it was just an analog A/F gauge marked for fuel usage.) If ya want a really cheap A/F gauge for your car, dig one of those out of, say a 1976 Grand Prix or Monte Carlo. Or, just get a junk voltmeter and remark the scale.
