I should of not used the word programmable, but rather calibrate.
I don't see how a wideband can stay in calibration throughout its use and then how can it be calibrated when you replace a sensor?
With that said, my old NGK was usually dead nuts on with the WB at LSE, and if i remember correctly damn close with MAP's WB, I think most times I said F the WB at MAP because I was that confident with my NGK.

Ah, I see. I know the AEM claims they do not need to be calibrated, cause they are self calibrated or something like that.

The AEM widebands use the same old Bosch sensor, but they use a different connector with a resistor specific to each individual sensor to calibrate it. So they pretty much come pre calibrated from AEM versus you having to do a calibration yourself in the fresh air when you put in a new sensor. The NGK box is nice though because it is pretty much based on the AFM1000 unit and is easy to use higher quality wideband sensors than the cheap failure prone lead hating Bosch units.

I think you should buy a 6262 and then sell it to me cheap when you deside to go back to a 16g.

So......
I couldn't find this the other night when I wanted to update it, but here is a quick update w/o pics.
Since last time I have gotten rid of that POS Innovate LC1 wideband, pulled out my center diff. to have it welded and sent out both TCUs, one was ruined by a local and I am having ECMlink swap the socket and chip over to my TCU that was in teh car (yes I'm lucky).
I also have a filter and shift kit for the transmission, so with all these things I should be good to go as far as the transmission goes for this year.
I still need to fix axle seals in the trans, put in a used T-case (mine was getting noisy), fix oil pan leak and turbo return line leak, swap in 4-bolt rear end, and buy a wideband.
There is basically lots of little crap to do to get it running again and I'm currently on day 10 of a 18 day work streak so time isn't really there but I'm trying to make it happen.
After more research, my goal at MAPs proving grounds if I get a FMIC is to run a 12.0
My personal goal is to beat my 11.7 from 2008 and maybe if money is good beat my 120 trap from then too.

No word from Jack's yet, which is disappointing.
They received the diff. on tuesday from UPS, ECMlink however has received my TCU's swapped the socket and its already on its way back.
They have awesome customer service, i received an email notification every step of the way.
I'm hoping to be running by next friday night/saturday. IF anyone is bored or wants to work on a car or drink while I work on the car this weekend let me know.
