Default handable AFR meters ? (innovate LM-1 with exhaust clamp)

Hi,

I'd like to get an handable AFR meter only to tune my engine (I don't want a permanent install) without installing a bung in my exhaust. I also want to be able to tune other engines than mine.

Any feedback about the innovate LM-1 unit with the Innovate exhaust clamp ?
Is there any accuracy problem in using an exhaust clamp ? (my car isn't cat-equipped so threre's no problem with the cat-converter)

I did a search and can't find many threads about using such a clamp.

TIA.

I've had some issues with mine. It works for about 1/2 an hour and then gives an error code. The sensor was brand new and should be ok. I may have to try another sensor. It was being used on an RX7 if that makes any difference.

I know the LM-1 is quite a good stuff but I'd mainly want to know if anybody use (or have used) the LM-1 with the exhaust clamp sold by Innovate

I use a LM-1 with the Innovate exhaust clamp when tuning other's (no, not from Lost) cars.

Just make sure the attach it REALLY tight and not just regular finger tight. Otherwise you get very strange readings after a while and that is solely because the clamp is hanging by the cable in the free air and knocking itself out against the road...
