got the oil pressure, boost, and wideband gauges in the pod, and made a small subharness. Still undecided if i want to put the wideband sensor in the stock location or not. Help me decide..

I dig those auto meter gauges, I'll have to find photos, but one of my old Lasers I had the wideband mounted onto the clear plastic part of the gauge cluster. Granted I had it offset so I could still see all the other dash gauges too, but I really liked it like that. I'd say do it. (EDIT) I realize you're talking about the O2 sensor itself, not gauge placement . I believe I kept my stock o2 sensor and then ran the wideband after the bend to get it under the car

My favorite Autometer gauges.

Like replace the OEM o2 sensor with the wideband sensor, and then simulate through link. Or just run both sensors.

These are the only full black ones i could find that weren’t an arm and a leg. I really like the look of them.

Personally I would recommend both if you can. At least with my AEM I'm very glad I kept the stock narrow band due to some instability and long preheat of the wideband. Maybe autometer is better.

Ahh. I thought you meant the gauge.

Yes i absolutely could keep both without issues. I just hate how the stock sensor wiring goes over the manifold. Look ugly. I guess i could run it along the water pipe.

Yes absolutely run both sensors. Keep the stock type narrow band in the O2 housing just like stock. Put a bung in your downpipe for the wideband sensor.
People often have doubts about how accurate their wideband is. If you still have the narrowband in there, you can use it to help verify the wideband one way or the other.
The bung for the wideband shouldn't go too far aft. Usually a best place to put it is like this on my car:
