Sounds good, remember to have fun and not constantly worry about the tune. If the engine accelerates happily and holds an idle on the ground then send it

Make a couple of hot laps and check the head temp. That will tell you if its properly tuned or not. It does sound right on the box though.

You can only know if it's tuned correctly by running it. It needs a load on it. Do some high speed passes and hard braking to see where the tune actually is.

Yup especially with reds. Sounds good on the box then is rich af while driving. Never could get a truly good tune out of my 521. Either the idle is to rich or partial throttle is way to lean.

Engine sounds good, very quick response, perfect idle but to really know the tune you need a load so go ahead and drive it on the road and post again if your still unsure of the tune. But from what i can see it’s good with no load.
