1:27 - 3:22: Freeway onramp (no, not full throttle - this was before I finished dialing in the tune), 70 MPH cruise and deceleration (internal)

I whipped up this video mostly to provide sound clips for those considering a similar setup. Driveability when this video was made was sub-par due to a very rough-cut tune being in place at the time.
