I think the car is worn out. I have adjusted the ALDA and I have it set now where it will blow smoke. I have also disconnected the waste gate as that I can never get anywhere near 14PSI boost. I have also adjusted the valves several times. I have also replaced injector nozzles, timing chain, etc. The problem is that #2 cylinder is low on compression, well actually all of them are well below the 300PSI mark. But why rebuild it if you can not make it better, using a multi-valve cross flow head?

The poor old car can barely get out of the driveway in the mornings. Much less merge onto I40. Trampas, I have for sale a resealed and tested ALDA that might be just up your alley. It sure sounds like you have A: never adjusted your ALDA, or B: It is not getting a pressure signal, or C: the ALDA has a failed chamber. $45 plus shipping.
