Default lt install 02 procedures?

Ok im pretty sure i am capable of doing the install but im a little unclear of what to do with the 02 sensore. My car has 33,000 miles on it but since it is a good time to change the 02's should i? And if so should i use the rear 02's from a vett. Im also gonna change the plugs but undecided on which ones, and at what gap to put them. ( im all stock except for intake and LT's)

Thanks for any help

You can just re-use your front 02's and get a set of extensions for about $35 so they will reach once you install the LT's. If you want to get the rear 02's from a vette you can also do that and you will not need extensions, however those will run you about $160. As far as plugs the TR55's seem to be a popular choice, thats what I used. I checked to make sure each plug was at .055, and used that gap.

ok i ordered my headers y pipe plugs and wires today from byunspeed.com. An I have one last question. should i start my car after the install of the headers without the 02 sensors so i can let the coating inside the headers burn out, then after a little bit of the car runnning then put the 02 sensors in?

No, you have to leave the front o2 sensors in. Just screw them in and start it up with open headers if you want.
