Holy fuck, and if you use a tricarbide groove fuel element that pushes you up to 900-1200s normally you'd be looking at more like 15-17,000 seconds using the pulse system.
Using Methane would effectively give you more delta-V even if it's ISP sank back down to a "mere" 12000s since it's so much denser than LH2, with so much more compact tankage and so much less mass wasted on cryochilling equipment and insulation.

Imagine the THROOOOST
