I would try to contact "thepartsladi" on Ebay and see if she can hook you up with some AC Delco o2 sensors.
Not sure about the plugs, I think you should still be ok with tr55's gapped at .035"-.045"

Last time I checked amazon.com and gmparts direct were cheapest at about $55 each for the oxygen sensors. Don't really know about spark plugs that much, I got Autolite Irridiums for my bolt-on setup.

I'll take a Denso O2 sensor off of sparkplugs.com for $34.52 each. There is also a code floating around that works and will get you 10% off i believe. Denso's are a great 02 sensor.

Don't want to float rumors around, but I did here of one case of Denso o2's not working out for someone. Then they switched to AC Delcos.

Yes, I have heard bad things about Denso and Bosch. I would personally not get anything but AC. The part number is AFS 75 but make sure they are genuine AC Delco.

Yeah, I'm going to do some data logging. If the o2's don't cut it, I'll throw the new AC Delco's on.
