Got to B&B at noon of Fri. Used heat gun to cycle engine to 250'F. Let cool down. Heated again to 250' and started with VP Racing break in fuel. Used Thunder Innovation heater and idled 1 tank. Kept temp at 200'F. Let cool. Repeated 2nd tank. Let cool. Heated again and started. Blimped throttle on and off entire tank with TI heater still on. Let cool. Heated again. Started and richened high needle 1 turn, opened full throttle so wheels were spinning slowly while I held a heat gun to block to keep it at 190'+ for entire tank. Let cool. Heated and started again and drove in street 1 tank with VP 25% fuel and put on race tune. Let cool. Heated 1 more time and put it on the track. Fine tuned each tank with no heat gun needed. Ended with these settings:
Idle .7mm
Mid range 2 turns out from flush at 2 o'clock
Low 1 turn in from flush at 2 o'clock
High 1 and 3/4 out from all the way in

7mm reducer
Temp 265'f

Humid, mid 80's
2060 pipe
P3 plug

Engine ran perfect and had almost half a tank after 5 min quals. Never flamed once and idled like a kitten.
