Good power, surprised the pump was running out, E85 I guess. Your engine is sim. to mine,
I was hoping to get into the 600 range, up to 10#'s on the street, just cant use it with an open rear, lol.

yes e85. it made 705 @ 14 psi boost but was loosing afr due to loosing fuel pressure. and I don't want to add fuel in the table to make up for a maxed out pump just for a little more power. first pull was a little rich and timing is in the 15* range. made 619 hp 1st pull. I cleaned it up and it made 624 on 10.6 psi boost. then added a manual controller. very happy with it for the very first runs thru a 400th.

Hugger orange is a great color, but so many variations of it.
