Dyno update:

He’s going to shoot some max-effort pull video today when he's doing the final tune. Peak torque is at 4500 and at 6500 rpm it’s still at 90% of peak torque.

He also said that the car pulls very smooth and very hard. At 6500 rpm it’s still accelerating at 7.37 ft-per-second which is very good. It’s also at 128 mph in 6500 in 4th gear. 5th gear should be good for?

His dyno is a brand I've never heard of but is simular to a Mustang dyno. Peak HP is just under 450 at the wheel. This should improve a tad once everything gets worked in.

The important part is that the torque curve is flat as a pancake. He volunteered to drive the car at the track
