Update:
The Revtronix chip went through the first revision to smooth some issues up, it's pretty nice at this point. I was able to reconnect the factory BCS, so no more MBC for me!

Mileage is sitting at 21mpg over like 10 tanks.

Coming up on 20,000mi since the motor swap.

Running an LC-1, AFR is 10.8-11.0 at WOT.

Switched back to the VF-8, it spools later than the TD-04 but is smoother with my current setup. It seems to be working well with the chip too.

At this point I suspect that it is not making full potential power, I may pull the intake manifold at some point and re-check for leaks. Of course, the motor is pretty old, too. Over the long term I've done a lot to eliminate hesitation and get it smooth, but I may just have to wait until I get a fresh bottom end in there for the full experience....
