I found that the wire harness plug going into the BP sensor seemed loose. The plastic tab does not hold it tight and you can remove the plug without prying the tab up. Since the plug comes from the bottom side it can easily work its way loose on it's own.
I un-plugged and firmly re-plugged the wires back into the BP sensor and it seems to be running MUCH better. I got it up to 200* and it only backfired twice - both out of the exhaust and no intake backfires. I think that could be a timing backfire since we never technically timed it better than to the ear.
My fuel line never seemed to purge and I cannot connect these two issues and am wondering if it was my imagination.
Next problem - the very back cylinder on the pass side was making the header tube glow red. :banghead:
