No new tune yesterday. Sure is nice to drive it finely. One thing is bugging me. Some of the guys on here still say un-mitered air coming in if so way would it idle fine with the IAC unplugged.

Be sure and follow the torque specs when you bind her down. It don't take much, and can create leaks if overtightened.

Thanks going to pull it back off tomorrow. Got a stock tune Friday one to the vin and that did not help so I guess the blower needs to come off. Got new gaskets should not take more than a few hours to do it.

before you pull it off, use a smoke machine to determine if there's a leak, we have one here and it's probably one of the best tools i have, where there's smoke, there's a leak, very easy.

There's a lot of them out there, but I've had great luck with this one. It also pressurizes up to 8psi , i think, and is easy to use.

any shop cannot do without a smoke machine!! even stock vehicles have leaks.
you'll be surprised what you find.
if you do any kind of engine work, get one of these, it saves a ton of headache!
