Check the size of the slicks. If they are much different than your regular tires, it will throw your tune off.

yeah you've got better plugs than those crappy bosch +4's,

check the hoses as those above have mentioned

I bet you see around 450-500rwhp on the spray, are you going to do a N/A run so you can compare that to when you spray?

highly doubt your lifting the head. if the leak is mostly off to the passenger side, its probably one of the lines from /to heater core.
