Totally could…if I wasn’t out of outputs.
A shift light would be great too.

ECU upgrade is inevitable

In that case I’d look at getting a digital dash you can hook up to your MS. There’s some off the shelf ones or make your own. My current one is based on a raspberry pi and runs tuner studio dash.
 
I know it’s a bit of money, but I think you’d be well served by getting a microsquirt and running the IO expander firmware. That’ll get you 12 more inputs and 7 more outputs. Can never have too many lol
 
Or you could save yourself the hassle and just get an AFR gauge from AEM or innovate and they have LEDs that light up green yellow red for the different ranges.
 
At some point, probably at the end of this season, I’ll be upgrading to a more capable ECU. I would just like a warning light that requires no focus; similar to a shift light. I do have an AEM wideband.

Installed a new FPR as pressure wasn’t rising 1:1. Also replaced the wastegate. I’m contemplating plumbing it for water cooling as I did cook my old diaphragm. I don’t believe I have a threaded port on the cooling low side so I would need to drill and tap into the water pump somewhere.

Swapped my trans mount with a polyurethane replacement. Hopefully it was just old and I don’t have something else going on.

Switching to Hy-guard to see how my converter reacts. I ran it before, but rpm was too low to brake boost. Also installing a new 727 front servo and spring to try and combat my 2-3 overlap.

Hy-gard fluid made a decent difference dropping my shift points around 300rpm. Between that and the new front servo my shifts are looking much better in the data logs.

Scheduled a dyno tune Friday morning. Not concerned with numbers, but I’m going to push it hard. It’s either going to stay together or be day one of a LS swap! Lol
