I was impressed with Ron's powerplant. I offered to be the next test weight, at 325# it would not be too much of a jump in load. He was too polite to reply.
I heard the beast at WFO, and I think most of the objectionable sound is induction noise. An air box would help, but hinder inspection.
As to fuel burn rate, he will have it figured soon, I saw five gal. jugs flying.
He flew nonstop.
