Default Front O2 sensors

Just curious I'll be putting on lt's this weekend and was wondering how many people are having issues with the the front o2's giving out freaky readings and having to go to the vette o2's. The sensors that are there now are pretty new and in good shape I ordered extensions already just wondering if I kinda screwed myself.

Im about 99% sure the vette o2's are the same as the camaro ones. The only differance is the vette ones are longer (so you could have bought those instead of doing the extensions). What you are doing is fine. It is what I have done as well.

I have Bosch 13111s (Vette sensors) and have ran them fine for a few years. Extensions should do you just as fine. Some people claim the wider heat range causes problems.

You should be OK with just using your extensions. Just make sure you keep them tucked nicely and away from the headers/y pipe
