+1 on heatsoak...
whether it's cold outside or not, if you're using the stock top mount IC, it will get as hot as the engine is...
the TPS (if not in spec) can rob you of some HP as well...
you might want to check your timing too...

Could not having enough washers in my bov cause any problems...? To me it just doesnt seem like its a heat soak issue because itll do it even when the engine is cool sometimes...I have a turboXS RFL and i only have 1 maybe 2 washers in it? and im running 10psi.
