Small update, but everything counts!
try 104 or110 in tank, 117 in stand alone, and bump the timming up 2*.
hello 9.3!!!!!

If I ran a higher octane in the tank, it'd have to be 104, don't wanna kill the o2's, still runnin off the o2's, haven't done an open loop or speed density or anything like that yet cuz I still haven't picked up a wideband.

try that and see.
The Best V8 Stories One Small Block at Time

i run 42's on my car, and make a little over 450 motor wise and 2 stage wet.
Projected hp (crank) x .55 (BSFC) / 6.4 (com denom) = min injector to meet 80% duty cycle
I used your middle ground suspected rwhp from n/a and dry= 525rwhp
Now, I take and add 15% drivtrain loss to get BHP (crank)=603.75bhp
So,
604 x .55 = 332
332 / 6.4 =51.90lb min injector to meet 80% rule
We can see just using your suspected hp middle ground that your pushing the injectors pretty far, and if your off on hp it may be worse.
Here is the math to figure your bhp your 36lb (at our pressure) injectors can safely support.
Known inject size x 6.4 / .55 = hp supported considering the 80% rule
So,
36 x 6.4 = 230.4
230.4 / .55 = 418.9bhp/481.7rwhp safely supported with your injectors.
Once again, shows you are worse than border line or past the safety rule.
Now on the back fire, here's my take. Beause your injectors are border line, I believe that going a tad lean caused your plug to melt (along with a couple other things, octane and timing). Then once the plug debri was flaoting around, a piece was caught in the valve and allowed that clyinder to fire out of sync cause valve was stuck open. That's where the back fire came from, imo.
I run two bottles in my car because I hate the pressure going down during the day, and I am lazy, dual 15lb'ers. Congrats on a new best, you deserve it after putting in all the hard work.

Maybe I missed it, but what is your total shot size. What's the car run on motor then? Just kinda wondering

Now, I take and subtract 15% drivtrain loss to get BHP (crank)=446bhp
So,
446 x .55 = 245.3
