The plenum gasket in my truck is not leaking. I have checked twice since acquiring it. I will not perform that on the truck until I see signs of oil. Plugs # 7 & 8 read just as clean as the rest and they all looked good. The engine runs good and yes I have run Seafoam through the air system and the fuel system. It'll get some Seafoam in the crank case when it's time for an oil change.
Custom CIA. I built a box fed with outside air only and run the duct myself. The 'kits' I see typically just have a cone filter that tucks between the engine and the passenger fender and all it's doing is sucking hot air. The stock air box is a cold air system but it's corrugated and restrictive. I was a box with a large cone filter and smooth ducting all the way up into the throttle body hat.

yes fixing the plenum is always a MUST with my tunes, even with the 87 octane tune. And after fixing the plenum, run a can of sea foam through the vacuum line to soak and clean up the cylinders.
For the 87 tune I oftentimes use stock shift points to keep the rpms down for mpg. If you don't care about that then I can put a shift pattern change on there. Eliminating the death flash of course, removing tq mgmt, & altering the fuel are things I do with the 87 tune. The premium tunes get that and more aggressive timing curve. On a stock truck, even the 87 tune will be much spunkier in a 0 to 100 mph run. I also alter the air curve so the engine is a little more responsive and when you rev it up and let off the throttle is recovers much quicker and doesn't hang the rpms up
