I know this isn't the ideal setup as I would only be able to get readings for 2 cylinders. I was wondering where I should place it and if it would give me any worthwhile readings for tuning/jet selection. I know a collector style exhaust is probably better suited for this, but my current muffler is working well enough at the moment.

Thanks for the help

I put mine only on the 3/4 side as I wanted a hotter exhaust reading and not in the muffler.

Thank you, that's a big help. Did you have to add additional wiring to get the gauge to reach the dash, or was it long enough. I would imagine that it would be possible to lengthen the harness to the gauge provided the right gauge wiring was used. It's not like a CHT gauge.

read my whole thread linked above. i show how i wired and stored everything. On the Innovate brand AFR gauge i used. you dont have to run the O2 cable all the way forward. Its very straightforward

Got it. Thanks! My Innovate unit plugs the O2 sensor directly to the gauge. Of course it is not long enough so I will have to buy an extension.
