I perhaps mistakenly thought '17+ is closed loop even at WOT, all the way to redline. I dyno'd it soon after I got it and both the dyno operator and myself had never seen dead-nuts on A/F, solid flat line just below 13:1, all the way up, identical for 3 pulls.

OP are you planning on tracking it without a tune? If so why? My initial impressions were that you are wondering if you can drive the car around without a tune but not track it.
Was planning to dyno it without a tune and see what power, torque and A/F curves looked like and go from there. Figure results will indicate tune is warranted, but I wanna see what it does without a tune first in any case.
