Idle quality, as well as tip in and pull through the lower rpm ranges is stronger than stock tune, comparable to the previous OZ tune.
Midrange is a bit softer, until I did the tire swap, and now the truck is stronger still, with the midrange power dip mostly "gone".
After 4500, it's a wild beast now, tons of fun, and always on point. Totally destroys the tires well into 2 gear. The combo of the tires and intake manifold is awesome. Shift points are 6750 in normal mode and works great, and in sport, shifts are at 7300, and work really well. The truck really feels like a mustang now, with better than stock shifts and throttle response.
You plan on getting that thing on a dyno?

I don't think I can - running a department at a startup company right now, busy does not describe it! I have the 2nd gear log if anyone wants to convert it to a dyno pull or whatever.

Default OZ tuned - forgot to give props

His tune was bang on right out of the gate, no changes needed - perfect. Very cool given that there can’t be many of these out there yet.

Next step, validate the nitrous operation. Based on how it runs now, mid 11’s should be no problem at all on a 150 shot.
