Okay so I have an older FJO wideband in my car. It won't read under 13.0:1. I was just going to try a new sensor but a new sensor is almost $300. So my question is this kind of sensor really worth it and that much better? Or should I just get a whole new wide band setup?

Probably just get a new setup. New AEM widebands are going for around $160 nowadays.

FJO is a brand lol. they seem to be a quality part from what I've found. the older one uses a different sensor that is expensive. I was just wondering if there were any benefits to running this type of sensor that would justify spending almost $300 on just the sensor

How much? I'm not exactly in the market for a wideband just yet. I have to finish getting my engine together and back in first

Just get a new one. PLX's are nice, that's what I ran in my Talon.

FJO was the most commonly used units until the cheaper Bosch sensor based wideband started coming out in the mid 2000s. They usually used an NTK sensor instead of the Bosch. The NTK sensor lasts much much longer, is more accurate, and doesn't die right away on leaded gas.

A new one it is. I kind of like the plx m300 or the ngk one since they are boxes like the fjo that way it will be easy to install without having to figure out how to mount a new gauge
