RE: Having problems with head gaskets!!!
What type of gaskets are you using?I had that problem when I first installed mine.
Until I used graphite gaskets and torqued the head bolts 10 more than stock specs.
Or you may need studs. And make sure that boost is correct, you may be
running more boost than you think.

Holy cow look at your a/f ratio at your peak hp 13.77? wayyyyyy lean. Looks like your running out of fuel bexause its rich up until the high revs then it leans way out, that maybe why your cooking your head gaskets, Im suprised you didnt melt your pistons.

RE: Having problems with head gaskets!!!
I didnt look at that part, but you are running lean. That will definitely raise
those heads off the block.
