I've got an Innovate kit I used a few times tuning new motors a couple years ago but have since sold the boat and would like to sell. Once I get home Tuesday PM I can look which model I have (bungs welded in exhaust, O2 sensor installed with a handheld display. Kit is complete with box/instructions/etc.

I really like the FAST dual sensor rig. It allows you to read both banks at once, which is pretty much a must. You must at least know which bank is the leanest and tune from that one. It sure is nice not having to guess or having to move the sensor back and forth. I have 4 of the FAST dual sensor meters, with the oldest one being about 5 years old now. I have been through quite a few sensors, but the meter still works great.

I have an Innovate LM1 and think it's great. I am looking at getting a LM2 for monitoring 2 banks at a time as Eddie stated.
And yes I will be at the shop Saturday.

What time will you be over there? I stopped to see Jim in the fall but you were not around that day. It would be nice to stop in for a visit and talk shop.

Usually I show up 12:00-1:00 depending on the activities the night before.
Valako is usually there around 11:00.
If you are going to be out testing your boat and have O2 bungs you can also borrow my LM1 for a baseline or to make sure you're safe.

I will stop by early afternoon then. I appreciate the offer on the gauge but I figure I might as well buy my own. I am going to be playing with a lot of fuel tables, and boost settings and I don't need to borrow yours ALL summer so I will just pick my own up. I now one of my tails has a 02 bung in it already. I need to check the other one, if it doesn't I will bring it in for Jim to weld a bung on it.
