Go here to look at the AFRs on a pull; near the bottom of the first page.

As you can see, these are pretty good AFRs for a tailpipe measurement.

I've thought about adding a bleed screw on the exit hose, just off of the SC, since that would be the highest point, but not necessary. The intercooler purge of your system is just a check. Probably not your problem, but worth eliminating from your troubleshooting. I actually jacked up the front of the car and got about another 1-2 cups equivalent of air out of the system.

I've also discussed the IATs with Edelbrock and they confirmed that those numbers I gave you are close to what they also see on their test rig. However, I still think the IATs need to come down. I'll be playing with some ideas over time.

Along with the IATs pulling timing, I also think (don't know for sure) that Edelbrock tips in the timing fairly quickly on boost to add conservatism to their tune. Just one of the things that protects them, as well as us, on potential early failure. The canned tune needs to be based on near worst case gas, temp, usage, etc.
