I'm pretty sure that those controllers are specialized in multiple ways. The basic controller has some sort of pump control to make the sensor it's self go rich or lean without having to run the cylinders rich or lean like a non-wideband O2 system. It's been while since my head has been into this sort of thing.

What I mentioned is the current standard for the automotive performance industry. Take it from a guy who has been swimming in the deep end for the last decade. If you want to read your Air/Fuel ratio, you get one of those.

I'm not looking for a plug and play system or any bells and whistles. I just want the controller to try to make a 'Power Box' for a speed density 914 system. I'm interested in something similar to this to give a 8 bit micro controller data similar to a data logger.
