A little hard on heads/rotating assembly and pushed a lot of coolant out, even with no knock and a safer tune with xfi.
Just a thought.
it drops to high 60's to low 70'
i am interested to hear about your experience please .

I think you probly already traced the head gaskets before. The 18psi just finished it.
I don't think it has anything to do with the plugs.

It means you can hurt them when it overboosted or ran lean before. It will trace through the gasket.Then under higher boost it will push some water.

Pushing water is very normal on high boost cars. Some people judge how much on each pass if it's time to change the gaskets.

Pull the heads off. Clean them up. Install new gaskets and I would copper spray them. Should be fine at the 18lbs after IF the tune/octain is good.

Don't run so much boost on that tune up, or turn the timing down 2-4*

I'd be curious to know what your timing table looks like and not just what your running at WOT/high rpm.
