Maybe I am being a little too careful. I removed the engine so I could check it really good for air leaks, found nothing. I can live with the rich at mid-range because it is just a little studder going through that and maybe when I reasseble the engine with sealant the problem will be gone like something wasn't sealing somewhere, although all seals and gaskets looked good. This engine is not going to last long getting 386 degrees I know, but I've got a 2 or 3 year warrenty at tower. Anyhow, thanks for letting me bounce ideas off and sharing with me.
