Recommended O2 sensor--what brand?
I think I need to replace my passenger side (primary) Oxygen Sensor. They very well could be the originals, but I am still going to try to get by with replacing just the problem Sensor.
What is the popular replacement for a Z06 with TSP cam & headers, no cats & no rear 02s?
I have used Bosch in the past, on my LT1 C4 and non-performance cars, but have heard mixed results on C5s.
My TSP headers have them touching each other, so something with a smaller body, than stock, would be nice (but not mandatory).
Thanks, Joel.

I just put two brand new bosch 02's in my LG Street headers (before cat position, using the after cat 02's with longer wires) and they're already bad. They lasted not even 6 months and my tune was dead on (approx 12.9:1 at WOT and LTFT's are all around -1 to 0 in part throttle).
I'm going to dry some AC Delco's next time. I took out one delco thinking it was bad a while back, but it ended up being fine...one bank of my car after the cam is running richer than the other regardless of what O2 is in there. I have seen posts about this, I guess its a somewhat common occurance.
So far, it looks like the delcos have better heaters and throw less codes....JMO.

Only use stock gm sensors. I changed one sensor on my last car with headers and had to replace them all eventually because the one was different. When they're 120 a piece I'd rather only do this once.

Oh, love your avatar! I'd definitely vote for Chuck over the other clowns any day.
