I have been doing this for decades. Chrysler never had a control circuit for O2 sensor heaters (can't say on newer vehicles though) key on and blam the sensors were always powered.

For someone not pushing the ragged edge and on a budget narrow band is fine and for $30 and some junkyard parts you are in business. I did push the ragged edge for years at 20+ psi with nothing but narrow band and was very successful at it and it is a far less forgiving environment then n/a applications.
