can only speak for the innovate lm1 and lm2 duel channel,they have severed me well in tuning everything from turbo hondas to twin whipple behemoths.very accurate for a hand held.
hoping some day they'll produce a 4 channel hand held.hate holding everything down in the back seat of a speeding boat.it is fun watching my toughbook start to float.

I agree! Innovate DLG-1 dash mount unit works great for my application. I use the LM-2 for use in the shop

Very happy with their system

innovate makes an o2 sensor holder,but I feel you will not get decent readings till your moving alot of exhaust past it.split overlap w/ draw fresh air back in and skew the idle mixture readings.happens alot on the race engines that have the sensor close to the end of the collector pipe/atmosphere.
