OBD2 Scanner that monitors AFR

Does anyone know of an OBD2 port scanner that will monitor and show AFR data? I'm hoping I can overnight one to take with me on my trip to pick up a 21 Camaro 2SS. At some point in its life, a previous owner installed an exhaust (I think its a Borla system) without a tune and I need to drive it back. I talked to 2 tuners here, one being Cordes Performance and they said to just drive back easy and it'll be fine....mayne a little rich but not dangerous rich. And then I can put cats on it so they can tune it and I can get the drive cycles started. I was just hoping I could find a scanner so I could monitor things as I drive home. I appreciate the help and advice. And to be clear, yes it will be tuned and yes it will have cats put on and all O²'s functioning.

I looked at some Innova units but I couldn't figure if they could monitor those points. The 5610 model says yes but not on the camaro.

Simple, cheap, and effective = OBD2 bluetooth dongle and the torque pro app.

Middle ground- P3 guage or Banks Idash.

Most comprehensive = HPtuners.

Thank you for that information. I looked at the torque pro app but don't see where it reads or shows afr/lambda. I'm still looking at it though as I can have it by tomorrow. Does the gen6 have factory widebands or are they narrowband sensors? Be patient with me, I'm still learning this stuff...old school carb guy with an F2 procharged 71 Camaro build in progress.

edit: I did see that it can be added. I'll just need to figure that part out. I ordered the OBD MX+ dongle so fingers crossed I'll get it working.

Nothing technically reads AFR since the factory O2 sensors are narrowband only. Most of us add an AEM wideband which reports over the canbus network, allowing things to read AFR through the standard diagnostic port (ALDL port).
