Default Another thread about WB O2sensor placement

OK, so I'm going with a Roe S/C
I'm planning on installing 2 Innovate LC-1s and a single XD-1gauge. My plan is to keep 1 controller connected to the gauge at all times but switch at times to check that both are reading similar numbers.

My question is,
can I just put the WB sensors in place of the stock O2 sensors? - either the front ones or the rear ones
There is a wire from the LC-1 that sends an analog, narrowband signal for the stock computer to understand. It works well and I have used it in other modified vehicles.
I'm thinking of replacing the front O2 sensors since they are the closest to the engine.

Let me know what you guys think

-Tim

You need to run the WB sensors as well as the stock ones. The sensors must be placed in a upright position.

so what do most people do then? Should you run all 4 stock ones and then look for a place to put the WB ones where they would work (upright if that is really a requirement)?

Innovate suggests any position from 90degrees to straight up is good, just not straight down
I'll still be putting mine in the stock front location as it is 90degrees to the side
