If true then what do you do?? After X miles go back to the dealership and they reflash the PCM??

No, I'm sure it is comparable to the Bullydog trial tunes for diesel trucks that wear off after a certain peiod of time. I know the new Shelby is the same way. We have an employee here that has one and the car will not make full boost until xxx miles.

When it hits X amount of miles it adjusts everything according to it's parameters it has after you hit X miles...
There is an RPM limit until the car has been driven 5 continuous miles.
what's causing the break up on the top end? weak valve springs? floating valves?

I garauntee it's because the air inlet is collapsing. The rubber is too pliable and it collapses at high rpms screwing with the airflow. It occurs even on stock cars. You can buy a little inlet sleeve from Accufab that will keep it stiff.
Whoa, is that a mustang dyno or something? 485? Or did you run it after whooping on it? I've never seen a number that low. Mostly 510-530ish. I've seen one other car with the KB snout and it made 670+.
Was it an Arab guy with curly hair? I'm guessing so. During the august event he showed up and was talking to me about how he bought it when he saw all of us roaming around Dearborn. I showed him the difference between stock and a pulley/tune car on the Southfield freeway and he said he was going to get the mods immediately
I hate dyno racing.. its a tunning tool.. you have a base line who cares what it is... An then you have the after which shows improvment\or non-improvement.. thats what was expected from the parts\tune change a increase\decrease.. a dyno shows the difference..

I think where most of you have your problems with all of this, is the fact that you really don't fully understand the internal workings and dynamics of the common combustion engine. There is no magic tune up, and motors are stupid. The only time a motor will complain is when something is wrong.
I can't get the video to download. It just keeps retrying..

I wish my Dyno sheet looked like that, well, had a power/torque curve like that.
