I read that the only neg. affect with a 4bbl which may be too big for an app.
is in the 'tab in'. I didn't quite know what this was referring to. It would
seem that it's referring to a sudden transition to WOT.

I am testing 24#s with a custom computer (unfortunately not for my particular
setup) and a sudden WOT from any rpm results in bogging. Scanner was reading
rich when this occurred so I assumed that the AFR from the table was too rich.
Normal/even aggressive acceleration operates without bogging and with very
noticeable power gain though.

Testing continues.
