Went tuning today and just my luck my wideband was reading all over the map. It's been acting up on me a little the last couple weeks. So I really hope it's just the sensor that needs to be replaced. I gotta call around and get one ASAP. I can't wait to see what this thing can do haha. What's life expectancy on an O2 sensor?

Both mornings since I've put my TVS on the belt nosie is loud as hell but once it warms up it goes away. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a belt dressing or something I can perhaps put on it? I guess it could be the tensioner bearing too but you would think it would be loud all the time.

It's been a hell of a day. Called a million places trying to find an O2 sensor in stock. Finally managed to find one. Paid a little more than what I could have got one online for but screw it. I wanna tune this thing! It's supposed to rain tomorrow which sucks so I should hopefully be tuned on Wednesday 
. Thanks for the info on the squeaking guys. Wierd why it just started doing it after I put the TVS on. But I was on a 2.6" with my M62 and now on a 2.9" with the TVS so maybe the extra strain on the tensioner is making that bearing squeal. For what it's worth I'll swap the tensioner out. Oh and on a side note, changing the O2 sensor on an OTTP long tube header sucks assss. Terrible design haha.

Well I got it tuned last night! Changed the O2 sensor which thankfully the problem. I'm running 20* and getting a little bit of knock up top. So i'm going to try a stronger meth mix. I'd rather do that than pull timing haha. Still haven't fixed my belt squealing issue though. Changed the tensioner pulley and it still does it. So next is to swap the belt. But so far I'm very happy

I always vote for show over go, but the chick on the hood would kill it for me, LOL. I see girls all over cars and I think "Who in their right mind would let that bitch @#$% up their paint?"
