Car sounds and seems to be running great man! How much of an engine break in period are you gonna give it before you tune it?

Not much...going to lug it on the dyno (loaded mustang dyno) for a bit then drop oil and add red line 5w-50 and fresh motorcraft filter...then let her rip. Mostly just seating the rings is necessary in my motor so it needs a load. Already did 7 heat cycles today.

My fav part on your car (don't kill me) but man that tank with the paint and stripes underhood looks so good!!
