Default Ok to engage vtec with O2 code going on?

Hey all, just wondering if it's safe to engage vtec while have a code for the primary o2 sensor heater?

It's a really nice day out and I haven't opened her up in awhile..

Just wondering if it's safe

It is. You'll just run slightly rich.

At WOT the ECU should be operating in open loop, so the faulty O2 shouldn't be a problem. However, I'd definitely repair it as soon as possible.
