well part of it is I am always always changing my tune etc dialing it in. I spent almost all of last year dialing it in.

I am paranoid now as I have had plenty of issues and if something is feeling right like shane said I watch gauges to help figure it out initially then start logging or wrenching.

I do however, watch AFR and boost at the beginning of my pull to make sure fuel starts coming in right and it goes rich. After about 4500-5000rpms I am just quick glancing at knock CEL and RPM for shifting.

I do that on every pull, I guess I am paranoid but with fueling issues and all sorts of shit possible I still don't feel 100% confident in my car, mostly hardware wise or all hardware wise to just slam on it and hope for the best.

I have caught plenty of issues this way by watching everything.
