I threw the stock carb on again and reconnected the airbox, got some fireworks... might explain the glowing cat. Gotta be timing, no?

152psi with an open throttle on a new engine with unseated rings is fairly reasonable. I would have expected a bit more, but it's not bad either.
Flames out of an open exhaust port aren't that unusual. Extremely hot gas and some flame front containing unburned fuel hitting a rich source of oxygen = flame on.
Have you made any progress with this? Any word from Tao or Q9? Tried hooking up a timing light?
