Stoked to hear your MFI tuning is working out.

BTW, by my calculations (including a correction factor for Global Warming) you have about 5.7 weeks of summer driving season left in Canada. Get busy driving.
LOL! You got that right. I've been pretty busy relaxing, since patio season started yesterday... but that means the mosquitos will be out in a few days and I'll be back at it tinkering with the car.

I guess my version of restraint is limiting the RPM to 7000..... for the most part. Still seeing a bit of blue smoke after prolonged periods of coasting/high vacuum but it's getting better every time I drive it. I've got the AFR's in a reasonable range now so I'll hit the highway and get the break-in done in the next few days, in the manner which you describe.

The MFI tuning is certainly a weird science. I thought I hit a wall but have managed to find a way through/over/around it. Lots of fun.
