I do not think that it is outrageously high (mine has ran from a low of 8 to a high of 18 PPM, so you are about double that), the short tripping likely plays a role in this and if this is the first OCI with PU then some chemistry could be at work as well due to the differences in additive packs. My point was really that in a Ford Modular an iron reading of 100-150PPM is way over the top.
If curious, you can see nearly 100K oof my UOAs here.
