Default trex install complete
well today i had the trex start to get tuned and the tuners wideband sensor went out!! so i have to take it back after he gets a new one, but the car is running like a beast with just the half tune on it. he says that he can pull about another 40-50 hp out of it once he can get everything right. well just thought id let someone know, will post a video tommorrow of idle and maybe a couple of punches in it.

Idle is a tad bit high... Mines around 900, and it sounds really good, but personally i would like it a tad lower

By the way, you're gonna love the hell out of that cam
