I need to remove my O2 sensors cause they're not used by the map I got from Dris. Anyone do this in a sanitary way? I'm thinking about maybe some plugs for the headers, and some kind of protective covers for the sensors so that when I need them again they will still work. Any advice appreciated.

For your headers, Doug, several outfits make bung plugs.
I'd look for a set that sits as flush as possible, inside.

Store the o2 sensors and make a pair of terminating plugs for their harnesses.
Measure the DC resistance at rest and put a resistor across the plug contacts to emulate a sensor.
Or, since your o2s are turned off, just a sealing dummy plug like the Acc plug up front should work.

Have fun racing and be safe.
I envy you. : )

I use plugs available from my local speed shop. Had to turn them down a little shorter because they stuck into the pipes a little bit.

I'd bet that Summit Racing sells them.

Just checked online - yep:

Exactly what I have - but again, you'll likely have to turn them down since they're longer than the bungs and stick into the exhaust flow.

High Temperature anti-sieze is a must!

Steve, ended up at Yearwood in ABQ where they sell Moroso. Apparently a popular item, they had lots. The thread length is about 1/2" so maybe there won't be any modifying. Already have the anti-seize. Thank you all.
