lol yeah! You're getting better every time. First it took 6 months, then two weeks, then a week, and finally......get ready.....a couple of hours!

Seriously though you have the datalogging down now except for adding in your wideband input. Once you do that you'll be set for the dyno both NA and turbo now.
I think I tweeced a final tune after this last datalog that should wrap up all the little details including optimizing the spark curve that seems to work well for your engine and turning the adaptive learning back on. THat will allow the pcm to fine tune your fuel trims the rest of the way by itself and in a day or so you should see your best performance coming on.
Check YOUR email now for this final tune and some other information I derived from your datalogs that may help you out.
Get a new video, that last one was too slow because you were loosing major power in the top end due to it being so rich.

Drove the Cougar to work today ... it's an odd feeling being floored on the highway in 3rd gear and running the tach past 7,500 RPM before shifting. The previous stumble is a thing of the past. My hat is off to Tom for a spectacular tune. At cruise, the A/F ratio bounced between 14.2 and 14.9. At Full throttle, the A/F ratio stayed right between 12.4 and 12.7 ... too bad I have the turbo cut heads on here ... this thing would be INSANE with more intake velocity!

There is a dyno shop about 1 mile from my office and I'm hoping to stop by at lunch time to get 3 runs in ... if they have time/space to fit me in

Is this being dynoed without the turbo kit you built? Just with what's listed above?

[FastCougar]

That is correct ... no turbo. This will be the "before" dyno run

Considering the low compression and lack of intake velocity, I will be VERY happy with 190 whp & 170 wtq.

Edited mods listing ... forgot to add the SVT cams

[StealthyWeasel]

My guess:

183 FWHP, 168 FWTQ

By the way, where are you getting dyno'd.. mind if I come along?

[FastCougar]

Curry's Automotive behind AOL in Ashburn ... about 1 mile from my office. You in NOVA or at home in MD?

[StealthyWeasel]

I'm at home @ 20871.
