Default vacuum leak

So after i dynoed the car, and was depressed at the #'s, Eddie at performance nissan told me it's probably a vacuum leak I have due to the Kinetix V+ Manifold. I checked for leaks, and sure enoughh, one on the left side, and a big one in the back. Big enough that oil was seeping out. So, I san papered down the manifold a bit to make it even. Bought a new OEM Gasket, and put a thin layer of Black silicone on bothe sides of the gasket, an then slowly with time torqued down the bolts. So far, seems good. Just did it last night though, so i can't really test it till tongith. Gotta wait for silicone to fully settle after 24 hours of application. Wish me luck! Hope a sudden 10 WHP feel comes along.
