Holley Tuning with an O2 Sensor

[Jamiez]

Thanks, I did a quick search. It looks like AEM makes a clamp on O2 bung...you still have to drill a hole in the exhaust though.  I was really hoping for an option that didn't involve any permanent modifications to the exhaust.  It's a good idea though.  Maybe I can fit a short section of pipe in there.  I'll have to crawl under the car and look

These guys sell a portable clamp on unit.

Hey thanks for that link to Innovative.  They do make a tail pipe clamp but reading around their kits seem to get low ratings.  I did a bit more research and it turns out FAST makes a tailpipe unit as well.  In the end I decided to go with the FAST option. 

Now I'll just have to figure out how to use it   Another interesting skill to pick up

Did you find poor ratings for all their stuff? I was thinking of buying their permanent unit. Do you remember where you found the bad reviews?

[Jamiez]

I was looking mostly at "kits"  a Sensor, tuner unit, wiring all in one package.  Most of the reviews I found were similar to this kit on amazon:

Also some reviews I found had negative things to say about the Bosch O2 which the innovative kits come with (although they might be rebranded).

Lots of great info here. I have the autometer version, have the bung/sensor all installed for my new engine.

[Jamiez]

it really isn't a modification! just have a hole drilled and  just have the bung/bungs welded in.

We have very different ideas of what modification is then   Anything that can't be easily undone is a modification which I have no desire to do.  I should be fine just removing the exhaust tip, mounting the tail pipe clamp and running it for a while, then removing it and putting the tip back on. No permanent changes, no drilling or welding.

Just so you know... the autometer kit that I got has a plug you can screw in place of the O2 sensor?

[Jamiez]

Yeah the kit I have has a plug too.  Doesn't make a difference to me.   I don't like modifying stuff that I can't put back.  Sure if I was going to put a new exhaust on it, I'd probably have it set for wideband O2, but then I'd still have the old exhaust to bolt back on if I needed it.
