Default 02 sensors keep getting burned c6 ls2

Ive had my c6 for almost a year now and it keeps frying my o2 sensors

I bought it back in march 2023 stock besides an intake and a axleback, within 3 weeks it burned the passanger o2 sensor. I ended up getting it built after taking it to the shop (cam and headers) car ran perfectly fine for about a month and a half which it then burned the sensors, took it to the shop and they installed spacers, changed the wiring etc. 3 weeks later they got burned again, again back to the shop replaced everything once again (thankfully free due to the sensors being under warranty). 2 weeks later all sensors burned again. Same process again back to shop replacing everything (free of charge once again) then a couple days after the sensors got burned again. The shop is now refusing to replace them and needs me to go to a chevy dealer (completely understandable for the amount of effort they've put) diagnostics on the eletrical

I am running texas speed headers with denso o2 sensors
tsp 233/239 cam
tuned after the build

Any idea what could be causing this? Was told it was most likely a fuseblock or my pcm - no fuse was blown for the o2s


Edit: the codes it's throwing is P0030, 0050, 0053, p0059

If you mean the wires are getting burned how about just wrapping the O2 wires with some heat resistant tape ??

sounds like some issues with wiring if they were replaced with OEM sensors. Or, a bad tune, or injesting oil? My C6 afterfires a lot and my primary O2s have yet to die with all that abuse. Secondarys are removed.
