Rob,

Adding fuel to an already ROP mixture with the MP held constant will not increase Hp.

35 GPH is not nearly enough fuel for a 350 Hp output, much less 370HP.  NOT NEARLY.

Think up around 45 or 46 gph for that kind of HP output.

You are simply asking for serious engine problems if you try to generate 370 Hp at 35 GPH.

That is  203 lbs/hr  at 370 Hp or a BSFC = 0.55.   The BSFC ROP at those Hp settings on that engine with its book stock timing needs to be up around .70 to .72

0.7 x 370/5.82  => a fuel flow of about 44.5 gph.

Please do the number crunch before you fly the engine.  It is easier than rebuilding engines, or worse.

Regards,  George
