A decent way of knock detection is also very useful. On some engines KnockLink can be a useful instrument when fitted properly (may take time and experimentation though)

Be careful when using just EGT values for detecting lean conditions --- if you go very lean EGTs start dropping! It's easy to lose an engine from over-reliance on EGTs. They have to be interpreted in the context of the other parameters.
Right... I have a wideband and thats what I tune with. Im just wondering if it would be smart to get the EGT also. If im at a good A/F than there might not be any use to get an EGT.

If my A/F is perfect what can a EGT possibly be good for? What else can it help me with if my A/F is good?
