Is .025" to tight of a gap for a NGK 7 plug? I had them at .030" but someone suggested that my problem losing power over 6000rpm could be do to the spark being blow out. They told me to gap the at what I posted.

No valve float? That is pretty tight on a cold plug. Spark blow out will cause it to pop and back fire is that happening? If so then that might be it. Also what gear and transmission r u running? The dyno should be loaded due to better load on the turbo and motor that my be your issue. I know on mine my power curve looks way different on a stang dyno than a dyno jet power was up on the stang dyno also.

It's as a 3" do with a cutout open right under the hump on the passenger side. It has TEA 6.0 heads, fast 90/90 setup(selling it now). It used to lose 2psi with the manual boost controller but now I have Eboost2 and it stays steady. When I took the intake off I noticed about an 1.5 inch of gasket was missing from the number 7 intake runner. I don't know what happen there. Do you think 160lbs is enough seat pressure?
