It would have to be -P I was confused about the warp-9 propellant and
that they were all plugged so I asked a vendor selling them (RedArrow)
He answered that they burn so fast, it creates kind of a vaccum in the
motor and sucks out the delay. I thought he meant that it snuffs out
the delay while it is burning, but he really meant it pulls the delay
out of the fore closure. He said he has seen it sometimes made it into
the nozzle.
Now...I would LOVE to see a D500-P but I think it'd be closer to a
D75-P(wild guess at the number) as there is already a G339-P (38mm,
single grain) It would still shread just about any MPR out there.

First, don't take anything with a 8-) to seriously.
Second, don't BG's usually use a -0 to spit the motor out and to move
the wings into glidining position?
As for tech details or Warp-9, who cares, I was discussing an
imaginary product so anything is possible when it isn't real.

No, that would be impossible. Motors create pressure, not vacuum.
What is really occurring is that the slower burning delay grain is
getting snuffed out by the abrupt pressure drop at the end of the burn.
This is similar to what happens when a motor chuffs on the pad.
If the delay grain is really pulling out of the forward closure, it is
due to the high g's that this propellant formula can generate in
certain rockets.

No, it is possible. At burnout, mass flow exiting the nozzle will
create a momentary vacuum.

I've done and seen lots of pressure testing of rocket motors. I've
never seen one pull a vacuum at burnout, or anything less than
atmospheric pressure.
Maybe Gary R. could provide some input here. I know he's seen a fair
share of motor testing.
