im having a hard time understanding how it would run better with the spout out.
I've owned 3 foxes, and stupidly each time I first timed each one I left the spout out and the car wouldn't go over 25mph. Without a timing advance the engine will just not produce power.

I don't remember if you said or not but have you had a timing light on it and watched it when it backfires and seen what the timing was? Too much advance would cause it so maybe the computer is the problem.
