You don't need to install a wide band the factory front 02 sensor is a wide range sensor. It is accurate from 12.1:1 up to 20:1... for NA tuning you don't need richer than 12.5:1.

So, all you need is a tuning solution and a virtual dyno app and a safe (closed) road. A dyno is easier and safe and gives quicker feedback but road tuning is still good to make sure the tune is dialed in for loading differences between the street and dyno.
