Default Do i need a professional?

Hey guys,

New to the forum here. I just bought a '99 10th AE miata with a flyin' miata turbo kit on it among other things. I turbocharged my NA about 7 years ago so I have some experience with forced induction, but this miata has much nicer parts which include a Megasquirt 3. The previous owner told me that he had his buddy do the megasquirt install and road tune it and a shop performed the rest of the work. I really have no issues with the driveability and the tune, but i know how "buddy tunes" can sometimes be from lurking on this forum. I was hoping i could get a second opinion from some of you guys that have more experience with it so that I can get professional help if needed. I plan on putting it in the dyno in the future anyway, but if the tune is fine as it is i might delay that a bit in favor of bigger brakes or some other upgrade. I've attached the current tune as well as two datalogs. One is a 3rd gear pull and the second is a 4th gear pull. Both logs have a bit of cruising on either end of the pulls as I didn't want to be on my phone while driving. I would appreciate any input and thank you all in advance.

-Dan

Overall, thats a pretty decent tune. Definitely one of the better ones from a "buddy". Few things can be cleaned up for sure, but overall not bad.

I really appreciate the input, especially from you! Just for the sake of my own learning, what kind of things could be cleaned up (where should I direct my focus)? I'm thinking maybe I can improve the tune on my own and learn something new in the process.
