Think I found the fix to my big air leak. The gasket on the throttle body isn't sealing properly, so I went and got a gasket making kit. $10 and it should do the trick. Gonna do it tomorrow and I'll let you all know how it works.

You talking about the gasket between the throttle body and intake?

Yup went to oreilys and picked it up. It's the real deal to, really thick rubber. Hopefully this will do the trick and fix it.

Hope so. I know I went to my O'reilys and they just looked at me kinda funny. They didn't know there was one there. :facepalm: Ended up finding one but says chevy carb gasket. Does the trick for me.

I dont think there actually is one on there with the stock air box. It just sat over and had a lip that went under to hold. But it was junk lol im going to put on the gasket after school later
