O2 sensor? one wire or three?

I have the SLP tri-y's.................do I really need a 3 wire O2 sensor? or can I still use my new 1 wire sensor? I really dont want to fork out the money for a 3 wire....but I will if I have to and if its really needed...

thanks guys!

1-wire is fine for shorties with the sensor in the collector.

3-wire helps with long-tubes.

that sounds good but on my tri-y's where the O2 sensor is mounted its only getting heat from 2 of the cylinders, is that going to be a problem?

i would think so, since most likely the stock thirdgens that came with the slp package probably just used stock o2 sensor's anyway.
