Default AC Delco o2 sensors + Spray???

I have always heard that AC Delcos are the best oxygen sensor to run (and never to use Bosch), but I have also heard that nitrous use raises the EGT's exponentially. From what I understand, this can drop the life of the sensor considerably. Are the increased EGT's due to lack of proper tuning or simply the nature of nitrous use? If it is a natural result of nitrous, then should I just go with a NGK Autozone sensor so I will have the year warranty instead of dropping the extra cash on the Delcos that aren't warrantied.

Denso makes a o2 sensor thats lead safe, so its prolly works well with nitrous too!

Never heard of O2s being affected by EGTs. They are made to withstand serious temperatures by themselves anyway. You should be just fine with Delco O2s.

EGTs will always increase with nitrous use, not necessarily because of 'bad tuning.'

Perhaps someone else can chime in.

Went on denso's website and didn't find any o2's that could be used on my 95. So no one has really had problems with their o2's failing multiple times with frequent nitrous use?
