the dynojet wideband works well if you use it properly. preferrable, put take the sensor out of the stupid air pump and put it in a o2 bung. i have dynoed 100s of cars that already had their own wideband on my dynojet (and i was OCD about maintaining the wideband), and it was always nearly dead on. there is a little lag if you run it off the air pump. also, if the air pump filters clogged it fucks your readings way up... its best to just put it in a real o2 bung on the car.

im not sure why you guys are asking which wideband, the fact that its displayed on the dyno graph tells you that it was the dynojet wideband.

one thing i learned, is that the dynojet wideband, in my experience, never reads too rich... with a clogged filter or poor tubing into the exhaust it will read leaner than the car really is.

bigmike, call the dynoshop and ask them what yoru graph is if they change the correction to STD. STD correction almost always reads higher, and 20hp could be realistic depending on exact conditions... its possible the dyno numbers that were previously shown to you were STD correction.

BTW guys, it clearly says SAE correction factor of 1.01 on the graph... am i the only one that can see the graph? the car actually laid down about 1% less in uncorrected.

the smoothing is set to 5 on that graph... you would pick up a couple ponies (not for real, just on the graph) if the smoothing was set to zero.

its not a definate fact, but my opinion is with having dyno'd literally 100's of cars on the same dyno, that its possible that the wideband setup on that dyno needs maintenance and i am basing that on the fact that the wideband graph is extremely smooth in its transitions. i hardly ever seen a bolt-on viper running a A/F that smooth.

edit, i also see that was your first run. vipers heat soak and they heat soak bad. if you had just got there and strapped it down, its possible that your car was at very high temp, and its possible that the 20hp higher graph you heard of or saw from your car was on a cooled down run. a stockish viper will make a ton more power if you let it cool down, but not so much that it start changing its temp correction cals... just enough that the intake mani isnt 210 degrees or whatever those things sit at, i cant remember... but i do remember if you let them cool down for a few you will see more power.
