Stumped on No Start Condition for Weeks Now

Borrow that bore scope or a compression tester. If you were pulling hard under boost and the ignition screwed up you may have detonated your pistons, or rings, or torched some valves. Backfiring would indicate you are getting a spark when you don't want it, really slow combustion or the cylinder isn't sealed.

Don’t doubt the worst but it didn’t make any scary noises and e85 is helpful. Bottom end is oem. No strange noises at the crankcase or oil separator.

Did you remove the distributor?
Also see if you can set it to TDC and see where the rotor is pointing, and verify a your plug wire that is going to cylinder #1

No i left it alone and changed the cap and rotor. The oil pump drive gear is pinned so no worry about it ever slipping. I set #1 to tdc compression stroke and rotor is correctly positioned. Plug wires triple checked

Can we maybe know all the details of the ignition? Like WHAT is it exactly?

It’s pretty wild. I use a crank trigger. 36-1 missing tooth wheel and a Hall effect pickup . That gives time for ignition and fuel. uses a Bosch bip373 coil driver. Uses a single coil, ford e style. Distributor distributes spark only. It runs off a timing map I designed. Today I set the timing to a fixed angle of 20 btdc instead of running the map. Haven’t tried to start it yet. Weather sucks.
