Not from what I've read, I went to the innovative website and read the forums and I've heard of some people's sensor cutting off because of exhaust temps being too high for the sensor to read correctly, and that was with a piston motor so I can only imagine what a turbo'd rotary would do to the poor thing. Mine is going about 2 feet back, better safe than sorry ya know. Especially if anyone plans on tuning with the values from the sensor....which is why you buy an wideband anyway, lol.

John and I had some fun on some backroads tonight in his whip!! Oh, and motor is lookin good there Josh! I just hope you find yourself some stickier tires!!!

Oh ya, Sam remember that injector duty cycle adjuster screw on the s4's we were talking about over the phone? Well I adjusted while viewing my wideband and it made a drastic difference. All the way rich my idle read 11.8 and when I turned it to lean it shot past 13.3 all the way until the car started to die, crazy huh!

I can definitely understand why some people have blown their engines by playing with that *** not knowing what it does, but you could get a little tune with that screw and the CAS, lol!!

Thanks Josh. I too would like to thank everyone who took their time to come out today. We had 5 sevens turn out.

Kory, I understand. Things come up. The only time that I could possibly come up is maybe Friday. Just give me a call sometime this week.
