Default spittin o2 sensors. need help!

Since we kicked the boost up to 11.5, I keep spittin out my driver side O2 sensor. I make sure that it is tight as hell but it still spits out. The thread is not shreded on the header. I was thinking of putting some lock tight or something. What do you guys think. All suggestions welcome.

Didn't get a chance to check it because it flew of the car. It blew out in the middle of a race with a 480rwhp cobra. I won by the way. The sensor is some where on Alvarado Niles Rd. in Union City.

How did it unhook from the wiring harness. Those clips are pretty strong? I guess the bigger question is how did it come out of the pipe Try some blue loctite. It is mild and you'll be able to break the sensor loose when its time to change out.

red, green, blue, etc. Blue is mild and recommended for rocker studs and such. Thats what I would try first because if needed, you'll be able to get the sensor out.
