Alright thanks guys. Everything went smoothly and easily. No big probems. Just broke the cruise control cable clip (I dont use the crusie control anyways), and 2 of the red clips on the injector plugs. Then becuase I pulled the full rail and injecters (which was a huge pain in the rear) to pressure wash the intake, when I put the intectors back in place I sliced the top o ring with the rail on 2 of them so they leaked. Got some new o rings and put it all back together. Nothin leaks so it's all good. Also changed the oil and did plugs, wires, cap and roter. Took it for a test drive and there is a huge difference. I can feel it pick up faster and pull harder on acceleration, The tach dosen't jump like it used to. And I'm sure I picked up some power and mpg's. Now I can't wait to do my K&N cold air intake and exhaust system!

You should replace the o2 sensors and check the cat.(dont wait too long) If the plenum was blown the cat and o2's are surely not up to par. And don't wast money on a cai.

I wouldn't wait that long. At least replace the pre cat o2 and have the cat tested. If that thing is clogged even some what, you run the risk of cracking a head.
