Given this has gone down the rabbit hole of fuel blending: https://torcoracefuel.net/products/torco-race-fuel-nitro-methane
Nobody should complain of lack of HP:-)

Agree with this. I had a friend that had his transom hose insert slightly loose and it caused the same symptoms. He tightened the cap and everything was fine. You have to make sure there is no way to introduce air into the cooling system, both fresh water and closed side.

I would check for loose propeller hardware, poor engine alignment, and v-drive fluid condition first. The drive plate is attached to the engine flywheel which which is spinning whenever the engine is running, not just when the transmission is in forward gear. Noise from a damaged drive plate tends to be most noticeable at idle, in neutral, and will go away as the engine throttle is increased. Drive plate damage often occurs from propeller collisions. The v-drive, propshaft, and propeller are only spinning when the transmission is in forward or reverse, but do not turn when in neutral.
