Ronald,
   If your Performance engine has 8.5:1 compression pistons which it must if you are saying you have 400HP, then I would caution against running 38.5" MP at takeoff, and running at 29" where you say you are running will be more equivalent to a stantard TSIO550 running 32" MP.   If you do run 38.5" MP on takeoff, then you will need much more fuel flow than the  42.x gph TCM recommondations and should be closer to 50gph.   (if you indeed have the higher compression pistons).  A standard TSIO550 has 7.5:1 pistons.   

Ron

We do not know the cause, it is already bad enough that it did on a so 
called rebuilt engine with superior parts.......yeah right (my opinion) 

When I finally had someone on the phone, he told me that the bolts must 
have had a gas bubble in it.....sure...and micky mouse lives in Orlando LOL 

You can see I am really upset with them, so I better shut my mouth, but if 
someone is asking I will talk and telling them my opinion. 

If you already purchased an engine from them, go to a real shop and let 
them take the engine apart LOL The 4p or the legacy are no planes to have 
a failing engine on. (unless you are carrying a parachute LOL)
