XFC-Xtended Fuel Controller
Why you need it.
You modified your late-model vehicle and the computer had a hissy fit. Powertrain Control Solutions offers a cure: the Xtended Fuel Controller. The XFC combines several functions in one: a fuel pump control, extra injector control, and MAF/MAP/O2 skews. With everything controlled by one unit-something few products can boast, according to the manufacturer-the computer can't overlook the new programming by inspecting the O2 readouts a MAF skew might be sending it.

AutoSmart Analyzer, PN ASA-2
Why you need it.
This onboard OBD-II diagnostic and data-logging system goes beyond the hard-wired memory that limits what it can do or remember like other systems. The AutoSmart Analyzer uses removable USB memory sticks to store your data, giving it unlimited memory. Just plug it into your computer, run the software, and access your information. LEDs on the unit are used for visual communication and to inform of errors and it has an audio alarm to warn of exceeding preset limits, other errors or trouble codes. It also has input and output ports to hook up many other devices.

Fast Air/Fuel Meter, PN 107042 for dual sensor, PN 170401 for single sensor
Why you need it.
You want an air/fuel meter with not just one, but two wideband O2 sensors to read both cylinder banks on your carbureted or EFI engine instead of just one. This meter can display individual readings for each side of the engine or average them. Aside from this added bonus, F.A.S.T.'s meter does other tricks too, such as data logging and providing a lighted graph display so you don't need to download to a computer. Of course there are outputs to hook up other items and there is a less-expensive single-02-sensor unit for the budget-minded that can be upgraded to a dual sensor unit later.
Applications
All Pontiacs

LC-1 Lambda Cable Digital Wideband Controller
Why you need it.
Quite simply, the LC-1 is a wideband oxygen-sensor controller housed in a cable. The advantages of this design is the cost, as well as its stated abilities to compensate for changes in temperature, altitude, and sensor condition due to its self-calibrating circuitry. It's well-suited for chip programmers or working with OBD-II software and other items. It comes with digital input and output and two programmable analog outputs for input to gauges, dyno software, or most data acquisition hardware.
