I am getting the IM installed today!!
already had it dyno'd before with my mods listed below
i had 123hp and 110 torque(wheels) I am running very very lean
hopefully this manifold will correct this
is there anything i should know about(installation wise)?
i will have pics and both dyno reports of before and after within today and tommorow!!!

Yes buy some plugs and about a foot or two (can't remember for sure) of vacume lines. You will need a plug for the one of the vacume line attachements behind the Air Ram. At least I have one. Also, there's a hose that goes from the throttle body to a horizontal metal tube (i believe it''s some sort of air cylinoid or somthing) that is connected to the BACK of the stock manifold. It will fit on the Air Ram but is not as stable. Mine keeps sliding off and hitting the back of the engine compartment. I just left it off as I gave up on it. You will also have to replace that hose as well, be careful that you buy a hose that will bend-- you'll see what I mean. Good Luck.. you won't regrett buying it.
Also, I don't think the manifold will solve your lean condition.

ok i have already bought new hoses
i tried to find a gasket that would fit but couldnt
so are you talking about the biggest vacuum line that was causing the problem?

Watts i think the maniflod would prob help w/ a rich condition not lean........whenits onthe dyno you should go a head and pay for them to figure out why its running lean, and tune accordingly.

the safc would be better done now, but it looks like youve got everything lined up already......you would probably be better off getting the safc installed before the dyno runs.....so they can tune that while its on the dyno, otherwise you'll probably have to make a return trip to get that tuned to perfection.
and having your stock exhaust on isnt going to cause a lean condition.

Don't worry about the gasket. The one on the manifold will work AND yes I had to replace the BIG hose that connects to the throttle body. Try to buy one that has a bend similar to the stock one. I couldn't fine one so I bought one that was "bendable" but it still has a "crimp" to it. Hope this helps.
