When is a heated 02 sensor necessary ?

Blade,

The O2 *should* be swinging back and forth at idle.  At WOT it should be 
fairly steady in the upper mV region.  I have had the SLP headers installed 
on my car for some time and am running the stock O2 sensor (actually a bosch 
one wire O2 sensor) with zero problems.
