720+ break in miles achieved. Went on the Medford track twice, not issues, will need to make ducting for sure to aid cooling for autocross style events. Highest temps seen were 207 water and 225 oil.

Will be at IPD today after 3-4pm, will be at the dyno for sometime. Wish me luck.

Well, it was a productive dyno session, but ran out of time to finish the initial tuning. Most of the time was spent playing with the Synapse WG settings to get it to achieve the desired boost. We got it, but I still need to play around some more. Wasn't able to touch any of the Chuck Westbrook's base timing maps. Once I start playing with the timing I should get a lot more power, as it is the timing is super conservative, which isn't a bad thing. Was able to achieve 373whp and 268 ft-lbs torgue at 15 psi. Had a few hiccups while on the dyno; I melted one of the straps and melted the paint off the bumper. Fortunately Haithem caught the strap before we did another run, which would have been really bad. And the melted bumper was from the exhaust tube that was put on. The bumper and the exhaust tube melted. Will fix the bumper later, right now I have some heat shielding on to prevent further damage. I will post video later.

And it wasn't IPD, it was another shop IPD contracts work out to, that has a Mustang Dyno. I will get the full details on these guys later. Haithem is going to Cali this week so the next dyno session will be Monday/Tuesday of next week. This current tune should be good for Packwood this weekend.
