This is a good sign it's not mechanical. Something related to fuel/ignition/tune, etc.

I predict a bonehead fuel leak in tank, or connector off.

It's hot! Go swimming instead.

Wishing you well. Keep us posted.

Congrats! Stay out of boost for at least 1k miles if you can. Looking forward in seeing more videos of your pulls.
