yes. the 02 will pick up the extra oxygen and call for more and more fuel to be added to the trim

You will get the same affect with misfires..... also a problem with headers and burned wires. The O2 sensors see the unburned air from the misfiring cylinder, and start adding unneeded fuel to the bank.
