Great points!

Protools is great and I use frequently.

CANchecked MFD28 is probably better for track use since you get the display. I have one and the screen I have custom set up shows: RPM, gear selection (fun for 6MT), oil temp, coolant temp, ambient temp, intake temp, fuel pressure. Planning to add oil pressure too with their FLP01 Oil/Fuel Pressur Sensor if I can figure out the best way to get an oil distribution block mounted.

Nothing shows oil pressure, there is no oil pressure sensor.

*Unless you add one and wire to a AIM or something.

So tuning session with Randy went well! Found that the new o2 sensor is reading different than the other older o2 I didn't replace, so I bought the same exact one and will swap the old sensor out to see if readings are now stabilized between both banks.

Now I know this looks weird when I am happy that the car put 50rwhp less down on the dyno but keep in mind the following.

1. Dynojet vs DynoDanmics (completely different dyno's and styles)
2. The session we just had was 90 degrees and stupid humid, where as the first session was ideal weather.
3. The first shop with the DynoDynamics roller commented that they make adjustments to the numbers to reflect what they think is more accurate to a mustang or dynojet.
4. Dyno sessions are for tuning, not overall power numbers. What's important is consistency and this engine pull after pull ran great. Temps were spot on, oil pressure was great, and power stayed strong throughout meaning heatsoak is being managed properly.

378rwhp and 286tq. This is what was more in line with what I originally expected, but my butt dyno tells me its healthy and we are good for Mid Ohio. The torque curve is beautiful to me on this, with it being a track car that is more important than peak HP/TQ numbers all day to help with acceleration out of a turn.

Let the comments commence, but I am happy, lol!

p.s. Huge thank you to Randy from Epic and the Autowerx Performance team in Cincinnati, Ohio. Great guys!
