Default a new install for me

well I have it set at 5400rpms right now, but if its too bright, it came with a couple lens covers to dim it down a bit. Yeah they advertise it being something like 14,000 millicandels total, 3000 per LED

I usually dont, but its been smelling funny when I shift up around 6gs, I know its just the PS pump, but still it will help me save my engine. I'll probably bump it up later.

yeah I only smell something after I give the car a heavy load by running it up to around 6000rpms.
The thing is that there isnt a drop of oil on the exhaust, but there is on the k member and the side of the block behind and below the PS pump.

Thanks 91lxstang
