Sorry about the stuff on the lens of the camera, I grabbed a Styrofoam cooler to put the camera on, it is what was in reach.

Just went for a ride for about 20 minutes. Didn't take my cell phone, being brave.
I don't notice any resonance in the cabin. What I call resonance is when things vibrate inside the car. Now, don't get me wrong, it's loud behind me, but there's nothing vibrating in the cabin. The change does not vibrate in the ash tray.

Won't know until I run a datalog and pull the plugs. It's going to rain all week so I won't be able to run it for a while. After I run it I'll pull the plugs and run a datalog, then I'll know.
Seems to be doing OK. I think the idle is a little high at about 800. I can take my foot off the break and roll at 30MPH on flat land.
Little tweaks, little bugs...I'll see how it goes. The chip is programmed to 32 as per your instructions. FP is 43.5 on the nose.
