And I can live with the low power and just keep it in 4th, but it is the overheating issue that really bothers me. But I feel like they are connected.

The way that I understand the Alda is that it only restricts pre boost levels of fuel. After it registers boost, it no longer limits fuel. Correct? So there would be no additional fueling in the higher RPM range.

I am running 11psi floored, cruises closer to 9psi.

EGR is still in place, but not connected to any vacuum. Hadn't thought about it being an issue... Had plans to block it off later on anyways. Move that up on the list of things to do.

Exhaust.... Is practically non existent. The flex pipe was broken when we got the engine, so that is where it dumps at.

We have clear fuel lines for the injectors and the return. We were sucking air through a pin hole leak, but that is now fixed. Slight change but nothing earth shattering.

I feel the timing is retarded some, because we have great low end at the moment. I should shoot for 24* TDC? Most people seem to like 25-27 range for their cars from what I've read.
