I'm of the same train of thought as you though. Very few people have actually pressurized the system and listened to the uncomfortable sound of the manifold creaking and cracking. Once you do you can't unhear it. If I get a net gain of zero at least I know beyond a shadow of a doubt there's not a chance in hell my manifold is gonna pop open.
Seb told me to give him a WOT log to see what it's doing and we'll go from there. My guess is , It'll take some more timing and fuel.
