Racepack setup is fine but you do have to choose to display stuff like either fuel level or fuel pressure, oil temp or oil pressure. The Mule and Camaro X are at a disadvantage to the Mustang because they have street tires and the Mustang has track only tires and it is just a ton of difference to me. I'm going to get a set of race tires for Camaro X and try it again. I was dumb and happy with street tires till I ran sticky race tires.

I keep threatening myself to road trip there after I found out it has essentially a mile long straight. I could easily clear 160mph with that much room but diesel fuel is sooo outta whack it would cost a fortune to tow there and back from Denver area (2K round trip at 11 mpg). Would be a blast tho'.

That white Mustang belongs to my friend Jack. He just added that wing and it actually makes a big difference. He is pretty fast in that car. Has a whipple charger on a stock engine.
I have an 11"x70" wing on my car and it creates approx 350lbs of downforce at 140mph, so yeah, big difference if you have a car like mine with a tendency for high speed oversteer. Also has about 350 lbs of drag at that speed too so it can be hard to pull thru the air, but that just creates a moment arm putting more normal force to my rear tires while lightening the front end (so I added a splitter to balance that out).

So if he picked up speed he must have had oversteer issues before.
