She fired right up and ran well for 12 minutes when one of the heater hoses to the back of the head blew off (5/8 line on 1/2 nipple didn't hold).
I was surprised on how loud it wasn't. The 406 with the XE274 was louder than the 463 with the XE294.
I'll finish the break in tomorrow morning and time it. I have 112 race gas in it, wanted to keep it cool for the run in. She stayed at a constant 190 degrees. Initial oil pressure was 65lbs cold and stayed around 50lbs once warmed up.
