Not sure I can agree with #5 having more overlap, or a exhaust leak at the riser joint causing reversion, but hey, if its fixed, its fixed. Extending the riser pipes is a good idea when running anything hotter than a stock cam.

I think these are the gaskets you need?

I like those Iron Eagle heads. Great replacement for the old GM rect ports imo.

You can get reversion due to leaks at either the head or riser gasket. If you have a leak at the riser put a straight edge on both the riser and manifold surface, you may have a low spot because the gasket is not the problem. Also if you are bottoming out the nut on the clamp band, get new bands, they are stretched.
