I always got to laugh when I hear comments like this about the MAF screen. You've got issues with your air filter if your MAF screen is filtering particles big enough to get caught in it...lol

Holy ****. Dude, I looked up SNG on the internet and they are located off of Harwin in Houston.

Harwin is the R&D epicenter in Houston.

And by R&D, I mean receive and duplicate.

So ive changed the MAF, but not the other 2. Im fixing to buy some new spark plug wiring, then get the new plugs installed. Question though, how hard was it to change the O2 Sensor's????
I am bringing this thread back alive. How hard is it to change the o2 sensors? Can an amateur with basic tools get it done?

Yea, no problem. Only difficult things are getting under the car so you can reach them, and then unbolting them. They're usually pretty stuck, but just gorilla them and you're fine.

Tools you'll need are:
* 7/8" wrench or a crescent wrench

That's it.

O2's are rediculously easy on these cars, they'll be staring you right in the face when you get underneath the car.

I read that Z06 Corvettes don't even come with screens...

What mileage should you change out 02 sensors? Any exact part numbers/years of what vette 02 sensor would fit and is there any benefit? Thanks.

your ecu goes into closed loop under wot so o2 sensors have no performance effect then
