Boom vader intake manifold gasket failure

Hi all-

My vader blows the paper intake manifold gasket on every ride. It has less than 500km on it, less than 300 miles, still in the break in period?

I'm running a vm22, 30 pilot, 26 degree float, 110 main, AF mixture screw 1.5 out.

The gasket blow up after a long straight away of full throttle, going for speed runs.. getting 56mph tops. Not bad.

So usually the gasket fails after a long run and I believe on deceleration. Research lead me to believe it has a lot to do with HEAT. anybody else experiencing this? Is an oil cooler a good solution for this? Would cooling the oil help keep heat at the intake down?

I'm going to not go full throttle on the next ride, see what happens.
