Default o2 sensors

In the mix of changing out my original o2 sensors and curious to know what brand you guys suggest going with?

Thanks Elliott

Good deal. Didn't know if going with some NGK or Bosch would be any better.

Thanks!

Damn just got off the phone with Summit...the Delco's are $70 each! Bosch were $52 and the NGK were $42. Is there really a difference is quality with a o2 sensor? Will one brand last longer then the other?

I tend to stick with AC Delco for all electronic parts/sensors, regardless of the price.

I know that when you order a mail order tune from MadTuner, they say that their tunes are specifically designed work with AC Delco o2 sensors. I have heard of both good and bad things with the Bosch units. But I have never heard of bad things about AC Delco's.

Yeah, I just put my tuned computer in from MadZ and they do recommend AC Delco.

I used those when I installed my Mac headers and they work real good. I just had the egr tube bolt (on the headers) back out which set a code for Bank 2 lean exhaust. I knew the O2's were working, so I tightened the bolt up and hit it with some RTV red to mark its position. No code now.

Can you still get AC Delco O2s? The last time I bought mine they came as Delfi, or is that considered AC Delco?

How did those AC's work out for you? Also, that video clip in your sig is awesome. You have a quality setup there.

Just to let you guys know, my car was still running like crap after I tightened everything up. So I swaped the stock AC delco sensor in I had and it fixed the problem. The new cheap Borg Warner sensor I bought (suposively the same thing as Ac Delco AFS 75) took a crap. So I am only using AC from now on.
