this might be a stupid question but is your air cleaner seated properly on your tb because i did that and it made a big sucking noise until i noticed it was on crooked and i had a bad gasket

I plan on (finally) doing the plenum repair myself later this week. I should have done it first before I bought my Flashpaq, my Fastman TB, the Volant, the exhaust, the head unit, or my lights, but hey... what can ya do?

I'd do it before anything else. Make sure your current setup is mechanically sound before you add anything else.

That looks like my plenum inside. It's leaking, but not terribly yet. I would go ahead and plan (save) for everything to do the fix. I don't know for sure about the revving thing. I think I heard someone on here say that slowly falling rpm's is one symptom of the bad plenum, but idk. If you cleaned the IAC really thoroughly, I would think it would be okay.

That is exactly what I should have done too :rollseyes: I told you a little bit ago that I don't get any ping on superchips perf tune. Well.. two weekends ago, I went to the track and I did get a little ping for once in only one of the shifts (i forget which shift had the ping but it was for only less than a second long). I knew what it was as soon as I heard it. Im at 102k, and stock plenum gasket. She still runs like a champ though After the recent Keg mod dyno results... I don't think I will be moding my keg as I dont want to lose torque. There has always been talk of "welding" the plate to the keg, but has anyone done it? When I do mine, I might have someone do it, and cut me a custom plate (without the bolt holes) and have it done. That surely won't be for a while.... , but eventually.
