Default Front are Rear C5 O2 sensor

would the sensor be the same heat, power, ohm range, just the length of the wire being diff, i already have the o2 extender so would it matter if i bought front or rear?

Read it here, theres a post where it says the bosch O2 sensors actually have colder heaters.
Exact opposite reason people use them for f bodies with headers.
Just my opinion, I'd get OEM f body application sensors and premade extensions.

I have those codes tuned out.
As soon as they come up it goes into OL
Tune them out and it should be fine, they're just codes that tell you the O2's are switching too slow, usually only at idle, and usually caused by LT's

If you didn't already, you can put P1153 in the advanced search here and get a lot of info.
