Watch out for wind, if the wind is blowing pretty hard your o2's will get bad readings. Also, your knock sensor will probably be detecting false knocks due to the deafening sound of open headers, other than that you should be fine.

BTW, the answer is yes since the computer will more than likely sense false knock more often.
