Default it's alive! trex cam


Idling at 1,500 but still running. I think when it's down around 1,000 it will sound rowdy.

Sounds great. That's the cam I have, but with your exhaust setup it sounds better than mine. Congrats!

Sounds great. Get that idle down to around 950. Off subject, but what size are the Dark Star fronts you have?
