You will need to adjust the screw on your throttle body and open it up some or your car won't idle.

Are you sure that you want to go with the trex? If your not real serious about going to the track, I would pick a different cam. Look at the fm13, tsp 231/237, or the tsp torquer. Maybe even the g5x3 or something. Any of these cams will give you much more midrange and more useable power. Just something to think about. They will still lope pretty hard too!

From what I hear its a badass cam. It would put down some good numbers and be much more driveable than the trex in my opinion. Definately give the guys at tsp a call and they can help you pick a cam for your application.

exactly

picking a cam based on how it sounds is just plain moronic. you pick a cam based on application, not sound. what good is a cam that lopes like crazy but gets its *** kicked by someone who has dialed in there setup.
