CB Performance Air/Fuel meter?, Who's used it, and with what kind of results?? Options

Hey Gang,
I've been eyeballing the CB Performance Air/Fuel meter to assist in dialing my carbs in. My eye is not well-trained enough to do it by looking at the spark plugs, so I though an A/F gauge might do the trick. It's about $130 for a three-wire heated O2 sensor, gauge, and exhaust bung. Anybody used it? Any others I should be looking at? I'd consider the Innovate unit, but it's over $300, and until I megasquirt, I don't think logging data will be that useful for my street only car. Also, as the car has dual carbs, would it be a good idea to weld in two bungs(or even four) so that I could switch between cylinder banks, or even individual cylinders? My thought is to mount the gauge in my existing clock (non-working) hole in the console. Any advice related to A/F meters and carbs is welcomed... Thanks!!

I have it, but non heated. If you do any homework on O2 sensors, you'll find these narrow band ones don't do much. Since mine isn't heated, it doesn't even work for at least a 1/2 hour. Honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. I think you really need an exhaust gas analyzer for what you want to do.

The only reason I have it, I bought a euro race header with a bung and needed something to fill the hole. And, my buddy gave me the gauge and sensor. Otherwise, I'm glad I didn't pay any money for it.

I should be clear, my car is DJET still too.
