Sure, so I plan on getting me one of these wideband (as opposed to narrowband) air fuel ratio gauges.
Narrowband only shows you Lean - Good - Rich states, where as a wideband displays the actual ratio number on a digital display ie 14.7
the one I plan on getting is a single gauge with two O2 (Oxygen sensors) connected to it. The O2 sensors get installed in the exhaust pipes after the exhaust manifolds or headers and before the catalytic converters if you got em.
Since I have a V8 engine with dual exhaust I want one sensor in each pipe so that I can see how balanced my banks of cylinders are. Is one running rich while the other side is running lean for example.
Here is one of the products, it is pretty expensive, this is not a cheap $20 dollar guage we are talking about here.
