But before jumped all the way to that conclusion I'd check everything over while the engine is on the dyno. Do all plugs look good? Are the EGTs fairly even? Did you check intake vacuum at WOT? Double check firing order? Run a compression check, a leak down, etc.? There are so many ways that engines can get messed up on the dyno you could write a book about it.

Were you really running 9 inches of vacuum at WOT? That is probably a bad number but if it is real then that would be an issue.

The 9 inches of vacuum was the reading for the vacuum pump. I didn't have a manifold vacuum gauge because he is running a big & ugly hat. The blowby numbers are the best i have ever seen on a methanol engine, with each pull the numbers kept improving.
