Carl, what sort of final weights (with delay charges loaded) are you expecting the complete engine to reach? I'm trying to force-feed your numbers into the RockSim engine editor, so I can start excessively relying on my simulations of this engine.
Just estimates:

Casing and nozzle 1.5g
BP for A 3.3g
Delay 5 sec 1.0g
E/C & cap .7g


So:
A1.5-0 about 4.8g + about .3g extra BP for blow-through
A1.5-5 about 6.5g
2-A1.5-5 about 6.9g (2 second delay before BP)

Booster will probably have larger spike than sustainer.
