Additional fuel may cause more issues internally, this stuffs simple and your combo isn't unlike 100s of other's just like it that require less fuel and run faster. A fuel restriction or sucking air on the suction could cause it to want more then needed.

Your nozzles, do you have brass filters or foam style? And do you have the o-ring on bottom or top of filter?
I'll get some pics when I get home on Friday and post them.
I have the foam type filters on the injector nozzles.

When I topped off the tank after the last run, it took 2 gallons. That's about what the engine brurned in the staging lanes, during the run and back to the trailer. That's about what I was burning per run with my 565 engine with a carb.
Great look forward to seeing them.

On the foam type filters, do you have it from bottom upward... filter,oring, cover ? Just something I've heard of people doing and it messing up things pretty good.

I use 1 1/4 gallon of alky a run. Check the amount of oil, if its real warm sometimes you can not see a lot of alky in oil. A lot of fuel could account for the internal pressure issues.
