I had the same problem as well.

Take out the piece of tubing that goes from your mass air meter to your throttle body. The side that goes to the throttle body, cut about 1/2" to 2/3" off of that side, and put it back together.

I have longtubes, but I really don't see how that would effect anything at all. They have nothing to do with each other, fitment wise.

That solved my problem.

Thanks for the help...ill try cutting some off...i had thought of doing that but wanted some opinions before i screwed it up.

As for the long tubes....what i was saying is now i have equal length shorties and the pass side hits the shock tower. The bbk longtubes i bought I believe will give me more clearance between the header and the shock tower because it looks like they hug the engine tighter. Is this true??? Right now my shorty almost touches without the engine even running and it definately hits around 3-3500 just crusing.

thanks for all the help
