narrow band only see rich and lean... wide band is more precise. it will not only tell you "oh your running rich, but it'll tell you how rich (afr)". if you are going FI, wideband is the only way, well wideband should be THE only way for any application for precise tuning.

The sensors capability of voltage to be read.

Narrowband reads 0-1 volts. Like looking at the sky with your bare eyes....

Wideband reads 0-5 volts. Like looking into the sky with a telescope.

ill save you the trouble - dont even look at a narrowband gauge .... picture a traffic light .. you have red yellow and green ..... same w/ the the narrowband gauge. With a wideband you get the actual # of what the readouts are. Save your money and get the wideband instead of buying a narrowband then buying a wideband after you see you made the wrong choice.
