( I'm not suggesting you do it this weekend, but rather at your convenience before you trash the tail.)
You, sir are a scientist. Thank you for presenting the facts as they are. Something such as this could come as a huge blow to the ego, and it would have been easy to simply avoid this re-test all together, or make up some excuse.
By presenting the facts - no matter how depressing the results - you help us all.
Thank you.

Too bad I didn't think of it until now, but if BSFC was the issue, loading another 200-300 lbs in the car might have provided enough load to get some good tests.
