Hmmm...first impressions after a quick drive (no logging) tonight is it feels maybe a *little* softer from 3600-4200 rpm, then pulls VERY hard from 4200-5000ish rpm. I didn't go much above 5000 rpm, so hard to say what the top end is like so far.

Unfortunately, there is a pretty unpleasant harshness to it somewhere between 4000-4400, where it almost sounds like it's rattling the heat shields. Unless it's significantly quicker through that range, I think I'd probably detune it to get rid of that...

EDIT (2022-06-08): I believe what I'm hearing there is a resonance at WOT similar to what is discussed in this thread: https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59475. I'm not really concerned about reliability of the valvetrain, because as noted in some posts there this is still within the operating ranges of the factory map, but the resonance / rattling is annoying.

...and I also just remembered as I was digging through ECUTEK that I had changed the Power AFR Fuel Map for mode 3 a couple of tunes ago to test out a theory and didn't change it back, so it wasn't exactly an apples-to-apples comparison between the two exhaust cam timing maps because mode 3 (the new map) was set to a richer target AFR from 3600-5200 rpm.

Looks like I'll have to re-do my most recent test with the Power AFR Fuel Map fixed, as the slightly leaner target AFR on Mode 2 might have skewed the results.

After that, I'll choose whichever exhaust cam timing map seems superior, then I'll return to my plans for testing the updated intake cam timing.
