Wideband integration

Steve, you're correct.  It's virtually iimpossible to out perform the stock ECM when in comes to it's ability to maintain stoiceometric air fuel ratio, but it's not so good at full power fuel control.
I've found the best of both worlds by keeping the stock ECM in full time closed loop. (In case no one has watched it happen on powerlogger, the stock ECM drops out of closed loop at just about 0 minifold pressure)  Therefore the idle and cruise is controlled by the stock O2 which is perfect for stoic. air/fuel control.
But when going to wot my wideband O2 takes over and maintains the air fuel ratio that I have commanded it to do, via my Translator Pro.  It's a great sinergistic(sic) relationship between the two.

Sounds good. Now what about guys like me who don't understand Translator Pro?

The factory ECM is good enough for me.
I can see that lack of a faster internal processor likely restricts how one manipulates /hacks the code.
Not having a faster native data stream output is also a drawback. The next gen of pre ODB2 ECMs seem better in both regards.

You don't think the aftermaket has caught up?
drive-ability and  automated adaption limited?

They can ask Bob Bailey  :prayer:  or myself, or any one of a number of other users..
