I would like to sale my 88 turbo coupe I/FI now R or Q/S car .To many cars at my house . Do you run a fan under the stock intercooler to pull air down thru the hood? This also adds cooling before and after your runs . What tire and size is on your car ? 140/150water temp going into the burnout box is what you want , higher temps will slow you down , as well as hot lapping a t-bird .What injector is in there now .

The 1035 is a very good gasket but there is a chance you might
hurt the head before it lets go.Alot of us 2.3T guys(not class racers)
use the 8993 until you feel like you have the combo close to dialed in.
The 8993 is a decent hg and it will let go before you hurt anything else.
Lots of guys flying using the 8993.
Found this out after doing the knock sensor delete and getting a bad
load of fuel.

Dont forget the BCS that limits boost in low gear if you car still has
it .

I have been 12s with my 2.3T bracket car and it is currently getting
a race header,T64 turbo and converting to carb/blowthru trying to
go 10.90s.Weight reduction and some chassis work should also help.
