Found some of my missing power
50% of the header gasket was missing on the #1 cylinder, 25% missing on #3. The entire right bank was losing exhaust too. Chalk one up for the Percy's suck ass dead soft aluminum gaskets. Blowproof my ass. On the bright side, it only took an hour to get the headers off this time. Hopefully the Mr Gasket coppers will hold.

Catfish, definitely use solid gaskets. Just put the ultra copper on it and it should seal fine. The turbo 2.3 guys don't run any exhaust gasket (cast iron manifold so it aint moving anywhere) because they always blow out under the pressure/heat of the exhaust. Really for the boost you're running, the HP numbers aren't THAT far off, but yeah, there's room for more 
Maybe we'll get that thing in the 11's with a good clutch and some sticky tires on it.
