So I yanked all of the choking stuff from the factory air filter system out. I put in a universal type from Advance. WOW!! I cant believe the difference. Throttle response is better. There was a flat spot at about 3800 RPMS that is gone. It just made such a difference letting the engine breath better.
I had some issues with the PCV valve and a vacuum tube not knowing what they were. I just piped them back in to the system. It is not pretty and I plan to replace the silver tube that you see and make it look better later. But from a functional standpoint it was a great improvement.
