Time for an aem, no more free air calibration and I like that it outputs a 14 ish afr while hearing up instead of full rich or lean
Be careful with that statement about no free air calibration! Most (all?) vendors of wide band controllers that tout 'no calibration' are using the precision resistor feature in the Bosch LSU sensor. Every vendor, including AEM's X series, that I have checked in to, which is not all vendors, has some fine print words in their application guides which says things like the sensor can be free air calibrated 'if the user desires when the sensor ages'. Some of the vendors are a little more up front and come out and say that the sensor should/must go through a free air recalibration with a specific time interval based upon end use.
So yes, the AEM and some other vendors will allow you to dodge the initial free air calibration. If you want to maintain the accuracy of measurement without redoing the free air calibration, then you will need to buy a new sensor every month - year (depending on end use and accuracy requirements).
