Default O2 Sensors , Do you pay for what you get ?

Hello Cyber world !!
I just assembled and rebuilt a Gen VI BBC W/ a mild RV cam and Im going through the small bugs that pop up on the final shake down . I have a B1 lean code .
My question is on O2 sensors . I Do you get what you pay for ? and what O2 sensor has the best and fastest P/U reading .

Thanks Arthur ..

Well it is the opinion of most for the LT1/4 variant of the SBC that AC Delco ONLY for 02 sensors and especially not Bosch.

Not sure about the Gen VI but would assume the same

Default NTK EGO Hot Start

Hi Arthur, I invented the Four Wire EGO for NTK in 1989.

I use/sell the NTK "Hot Start" sensor.
This sensor reads FAST and warms up very soon.
The NTK sensor will last 2X that of most others.

I have found those (off brand) "Bay" sensors FAIL in short time.

Just ask ?

I'm assuming you are talking about narrow band O2 sensors. I for one have never had a problem using Bosch sensors. I'm just going to leave this here.

I have the same gen BBC...put in a wideband sensor after dyno tuning for piece of mind...I find myself watching it more than the speedo.
Good insurance in my opinion.
