Default Who runs a wideband 24/7?

Is it bad to do this? i wanna constantly monitor my engine since a ls1 costs more than any normal honda engine, and blowing it up would be pretty shitty. But if its bad for the wideband im just gonna sell the wideband and pray that someone can tune it well.

I'm curious as well, because I'm too lazy to uninstall/reinstall whenever i want to tune.

I don't drive my turbo'd car in the winter. This spring & last spring, I've had to replace the WBO2.

The rest of the year when it seems daily use, it's not a problem.

Mine is hooked up all the time. To me, that's the whole point of it, so I KNOW that the a/f is correct every time I make a pull.

i ran mine everyday, just gotta make sure you don't run too much of that 100 octane or that sensor wont last long at all. they dont like anything higher than pump gas

if you use ANY leaded race gas even when going to the track for the night itll smoke the o2 sensor so keep that in mind if you always run one
