Sounds like an intake air leak.

I was in Dallas a few weeks ago at the Deep Ellum art fair. You could have came by and talked engines with me.

well i figured out all the problems and ordered parts from the pirates...........got a new slant head, head gasket, some oil,spark plugs, but i forgot to order the most important thing the MM billet intake.....cause as you might have guessed i have a major air leak in my intake and i heard these billet intake fix that with no problem
