I would check your temps... it was hot as shit out today somewhere in the 90s I beleave, and humid so that could play a big factor.. never the less with your mods you shouldn't be seening any 13s on your timeslips

do you have diacom or datamaster?

I found out what's wrong i think! I removed my passenger side header today to find out that cylinder 2 and 3 are both cracked at the primary's. I have not removed the driver's side yet. I can't belive $1,000 headers crack. What do i do with them now?

how does this happen? what can you do to prevent it? Should they be removed periodically for inspection? I am sure it has been discussed but the search seems to be down.

"I removed my passenger side header today to find out that cylinder 2 and 3 are both cracked at the primary's"

do you mean 4 and 6? i would remove the header and check it with a straight edge if i were you...i had mine welded last week but on 1 and 2 (front driver and pass.) and found that the runner was actually pulled away from its weld when it was torqued on...a straight edge showed me after they were repaired...dont weld the outside if they have them tacked on the outside...will probably crack there...in my case, i didnt have the option of planing down the flange so i made them idividual with a hacksaw...i dont think the heavy turbo got me in this case because both fronts caused me a problem because of the warped flange...anyway we'll see what happens...

here are some pics:
