Having to chop up the intake doesn't sound like a good option - I don't think the computer would like that, not to mention the low end torque you would lose. What about one of these? Halfway kidding of course, I'm sure you don't want to spend that much more! Where is it hitting, in the front or rear?
Tom, Too late on the intake, it's already in the process of having the runners shortened. I'm really hoping that it doesn't have a huge affect on power. I'm taking off an inch and a half. Maybe one of the EFI/TPI experts will chime in with good input. If modding the intake doesn't work out I'll just have to go another route...what would hotrodding be if you didn't have to MAKE things fit? How's your car doing???? Have you driven it on the highway yet? I've got the same tranny and rear, so am anxious to here...
