Default What oxygen sensors do you guys run?

I'm about to swap mine out for new ones, what have you guys had luck with? I realize this isn't nitrous specific, but there are some smart guys in here, I trust their advice.

Stock ECM, BTW.

Thanks

Doesn't matter they are narrow band and are useless for real tunning. get a wideband if you care to see the actual a/f

Yeah, but they'll make for a rough day if one/both takes a ****.

I just need to toss some new ones in, threw a code for O2 and figured they are probably old anyway, just wondering what you guys use. This isn't for tuning, just for the ecm to run on.

I ran the bosch O2's from the local parts store. IIRC, I ran the C5 part # because of longtubes. And they have a lifetime warranty

How long is a while? Anyone switching O2s out just to use some race fuel at the track? Used ones at the track and new ones once the race fuel is used up? Sorry for the hijack.

Thats why we don't ewven have them in. the stock ones die to easy. and an aftermarket 1 should be used to verify the plug reading.

My last set lasted over 700 miles running mostly race fuel. I only put about 500+ street miles on my car per year.

we fianlly burnt one up at the track the other day after a crap ton of passes. Car didnt want to idle for its life but ran great on motor once they were shut off at WOT. Dont know if Im gonna put them back in to help driveability or leave it the way it is.

**** did go 125 mph on motor though so that was a plus.

I have an LT1 so I don't know if the part # would be the same for LS1.
