Question corvette 02's

I recently installed pacesetter longtube's, etc. , and a nelson tune on my 04 silverado, and i am wanting to replace my 02 sensors. I've read around about people using corvette sensors instead?
Is there any benefit to this? Also are the connectors the same?

Thanks yall

Use the rear o2s from a vette, re pin them to fit your connector, or splice them to your connector.There was a thread on this not long ago, but I cant seem to find it either.

Word is that the heating element is hotter than our O2 sensors, and it will help with possible O2 sensor codes that may occur when using long tube headers.

Remove the terminals from the vette connector and insert them into your connector...this is the way I would do it instead of cutting up your new O2 sensor wires

Not sure what year Corvette O2 sensor that you need, it may or may not be the same year as your truck lol. Hopefully somebody can post that info up. It's floating around here somewhere...

...just opened up my little notebook (that I jot down relevant info and part numbers in)...the Bosch part number that I lifted off of this site is 13111

In that case I might be in for a set, I am getting super rich afr's sometimes, the damn truck sounds like it is on a 2 step, untill it clears up, which happens after I pop the gas a few times.. I knew it has to do with heat but couldn't put my finger right on it...
