Well I broke down and decided to look into that Up-Pipe leak.. After I jacked her up and properly supported the front end I pulled apart the union between the Up-Pipe and Header.. What did I discover? Well the gasket that came with the header was wrong. The Diameter of the bore was too large. The hole was so large that it protruded into the bolt hole for the Up-Pipe thus allowing air to leak out the hole. I will post up some pictures as soon my girl gets home with her camera.. Headed out to Allied Auto Parts in town and grabbed (2) different gaskets to try out.. After a little modifications I got the first one to seal it all up.. Now she is running just like she did last year with 400whp. I'm all broke in and fluid changed again so I get to play.. I'm still only tuned to 22 psi but well on my way to that problem fixed..
Only one draw back now. Friday I drove to work to add a little Brake fluid (That's where I keep it) and I noticed that I was leaking coolant.. I have not however been able to recreate that leak to fix it.. Just one of those wierd things.. I'm going to keep an eye on that so I can find the source if it occurs again..
