Well i finally did it!!
I fixed that oh so terrible intake leek! For those of you who have read my posts on all the probs. i've been having, thank you for your input. It ended up being a big crack in the upper plenum of the intake, just to recap. I took it to a guy that works a few bays down from me who welds exceptionaly well. He said he could do it, and then he did. Then I had the mating surface flatened.
Brought it home, bolted it on, and turned the key. It never sounded so beautiful! It took off right to idle and sat there without a flinch. I thought for sure that i would end up getting a new upper for it.
Just wanted to let you guys that commented, what was up. Me so happy!!!

Thanks
Thad
