They are not the same. I use corvette sensors (I think they are 2001 or something vette sensors) after I kept getting insuffecient switching codes after my header and duals install. These sensors were recommended from someone on this ls1.com years ago because they heat up faster or something along those lines. It worked and I never had a issue after that.
