As it turns out, I can't read the AFR gauge in the sun at WOT. To read it I have to do all the things necessary to reach top speed at WOT plus watch traffic fumble for my readers, REACH FORWARD TO CUP THE GAUGE SO I CAN BLOCK THE SUN, THEN READ IT. You cover a lot of ground @ WOT and I would be spending way too much time not watching where I was going. I thought I would be able to glance and read it. All of my other gauges are analog and easy to read. I may be able to do it if I get a friend on board to watch it but both my friends so far have been really concentrating on hanging on. 
A lot of you go way faster but this is the fastest my friends and I have gone. So with the AFR gauge in mind, what did you guys buy and can you read it in the sun? I have the Innovative brand. Do I have to come up with a shroud?? Thanks for your help.

Just a friendly service reminder.
And as drag mentioned, one that records can ve worth it. So can testing during the week. Weekends can be an alien experience.

An AFR gauge is useless to me. You can’t do squat with it. There are some basic data loggers that stand alone from AIM or others that you could easily hook up. Go make some runs and then come back and download what you saw. Then you can actually do something about it, or come on here and tell people your tuneup is fine and to quit speculating.
