    You are logging the wrong sensor.

    LS4's only have 2 o2 sensors, you need to log bank 1 sensor 2 to see the o2 sensor after the cat converter.

    Bank 1 sensor 1 is the only sensor before the converter.

    2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.

    If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.

    Nope.

    Welcome to front wheel drive GM thinking lol. There is no where to run more exhaust tubing on a transverse mounted engine like these, so they go up and over the transmission into a combined downpipe with 2 o2 senors and 1 cat converter.

    All 3100, 3400, 3800, 3900 and 5.3's in the W-body platform only run 2 o2 sensors. H-body cars are the same way.

    Why didnt they put an o2 in each manifold, that doesnt make any sense

    Mainly because it works and just open the hood, look at the limited space. You can't run exhaust under the oil pan/transmission, too close to the ground.


    Look at all the 3800's, they too use a single o2 sensor to control all 6 cylinders even on the supercharged engines.
