during WOT the O2 sensors are not used for adjustments... however w/out a working O2 sensor that bank isn't going to run right during acceleration to go WOT

You mean a wideband O2? If so you need the O2 sensor AND the controller ... which are around 300 or so (some brands are more some are less)

oh, if the dyno place has a wideband setup they'll prolly just stick it in the exhaust... through the tail pipes... no need to put the sensor in a bung (everytime I've had my car dynoed w/wideband they've used a sensor shoved in from the back)

If you don't leave the original sensor plugged in, hanging there by the harness, it will run fine that way. Just won't go into closed loop. They don't normally go into closed loop that soon after startup (unless it is an LS2) anyway. Many dyno shops do that all the time. Even if it sets a DTC, it won't make it run one bit different @ WOT.
