Default Oxygen Sensor problem???

I just put FLP headers on my car and it doesn't want to rev or go. The car shakes really bad under WOT. FLP told me to take the rear passenger side O2 and move it to the front because it is longer and will reach the connection. Is this my problem????? Car has new plugs and wires also. Thanks

A connection is a connection. The only difference you would get from changing the O2 sensors is to see if one is bad, in which case it would have thrown a code (if you drove it long enough to throw a code)

These O2 sensors are a PITA. I almost regret getting LT's due to the constant issues with the SES light.
