.......so after taking off my heads.......... i discoverd... oh hm..... that doesnt look right.....

to some one who doesnt know what they are looking for this is just a normal head gasket....

but when you give it a closer look.......

thats probably an issue, but not a a problem i already bought cometics and arp head studs earlier this year.. a month or 2 ago planning for worst case scenario

Your problem is that your CAI is too close to the headers so with the higher intake temps your losing power like mad. Glad I could help.

Make sure you spray the Cometics with cooper spray silicone before installing them. Also make sure that all the surfaces are smooth, clean and flat
