o2 sensor simulators

Ok so i have been having problems with my o2 sensors fouling out and having to be replaced. I was looking into maybe getting some simulators to solve this problem. But, i read that the connector for the front o2 sensors in a four wire flat plug, which is the o2's on my car. I have Pacesetter long tubes,and ory pipe so these are the only 2 sensors on the car. I also read that these control the fuel trims, so they couldn't be simulated out. I was looking to get some insight into this, my car will run good for a while with new o2 sensors and then they will foul out and the car begins to run like crap. Also, do you think just getting a dyno tune will cure this problem?

Thanks Chris

It is correct that you cannot simulate the front sensors, so that is out. Some research and data from your O2s might help. When you start modding the engine, a tune is often required for it to run it's best.

i was thinking of getting a dyno tune because that seems the only way. I live about 15 minutes from futral motorsports and about 30 minutes form my usual thunder racing, so it wouldn't be a problem. also, do you know if my car came with rear o2 sensors? i need to look and see if i can find the plugs but i don't remember seeing them.

1996s would have rear O2s as stock.
