not sure if this was already mentioned.
a compression test was done prior to the leak down and the numbers where between 110 to 125psi with the lower compression setup. shouldnt there be a larger pressure difference with a blown motor? 15psi doesnt seem like much.

this term is usually used when the failure is catastrophic, or at least something breaks!!!...the exact cause of the smoking will be made apparent (hopefully) when the motor is dissassembled...if the piston ringland broke, or a ring is toast...then no, the compression numbers do not have to differ more than 15psi...if a piston was shattered , then yes, the numbers would differ much more
good luck jorge!

You are going to need more fuel pump capacity to reach that power. The Walbro starts fading at about 575whp...you can tune around it to some extent, but once the pressure starts dropping, its time for an additional higher capacity pump, twin walbro..or some other solution. A signle Walbro 255 will not get you to 700whp safely.
