No worries. BPM and others will fix that.

I bet that before it's over the tuners will be able to get 530-550 crank out of it.

I'm leaning more on the sedan at this point but who knows. It will be a game time decision as to which quarterback I will go with and I'll likely wait until they start coming off lease till I get one.
