Default Long tube/front O2 sensors lazy

Hoping someone can help me out. I put on long tube headers. After the tune, I still got a check engine light. Took it back and we found the front O2 sensors were pretty lazy. They were working, but slowly. My tuner recommended rear O2 sensors from a late model Corvette be placed in the front on my truck. He said he had read they had a higher wattage heating element that would help with this problem. Can anyone advise me on this issue or possibly a better solution? Thanks!

If you do a quick search, there was a thread on this just a few days ago. I have had a few problems with my o2s lately as well, they are old though. I plan on going with these as well.

Yes the Rear o2s on the corvette will replace the front o2's on the truck and read better.

Thanks guys! I read the posts and did a search, but each one had the same answer. Use the Corvette rear sensors and it might help. Will try the suggestions and see what happens. Thanks again!
