I've been away from this for a long time, Bob - What's the BW on AFR sensors & manifold pressure sensors these days? Can you see the in- dividual cylinders in the data? Do you want to? RPM & Throttle position change relatively slowly by comparison. IIRC your war horse is an RX-7 with a Ford V8 transplant? Sounds like fun anyway... Jack ...
