Was that because the front sensors were reading off of only one primary tube? My jbas are the same and im wondering if I need to relocate them to the collector.

no his were aimed to where water would collect in the sensor and kill it.

IMO putting the oxygen sensor in a primary tube is the dumbest idea i have seen. Not only does it restrict flow on that cylinder, it does not give an accurate reading back to the computer.

Im considering throwing extensions on and moving them. I guess I'd need a custom tune though. Im like you, idk why they did that either because it doesnt get a reading from the other cylinders so if they have issues it wouldn't throw a MIL.

You wont need extensions, just move the harness around a little and they will reach.

I have an extra one if you need it

Love my LT's and what it brought to the table for my tuners to work with, particularly in conjunction with my other mods.

I would most def do it over again I was thinking to myself when I walked a SRT 392 a couple weeks back.

Depends on how long I keep my ride would it be worth the investment. Might be keeping her for a while if she continues to run this strong and no issues.
