Perry, you are running fuel injected right? Why not just turn down the fuel pressure? That's the trick the guys do to reduce full throttle fuel usage. The computer goes into open loop at WOT, so turning the pressure down reduces fuel use at that time, yet computer learns new settings for partial throttle conditions.
Just turn pressure down 5% initially.

Some accumulated MPG data, readers please add more if you have it.
I'm attaching this as a textfile so the columns may not line up. I might resend as a GIF if it doesn't turn out right.
 
Doesn't that 32 MPG RV8 sound a little too good to be true? Must have been flying at maximum range speed, whatever that is.
