MAP sensor FAST intake How do you guys hold the MAP sensor down? I've tried using RTV like we did on my buddies Vette but it keeps breaking off when I try plugging it in.

This is what I did to mine 3 years ago and it still works fine. You need to create a permanent bracket that will create constant pressure on top of the MAP sensor. Visualize an upside down "L" with the shorter part of the L clamping down on the sensor and the longer part is the bolt to the intake.
* Replace the rear most intake bolt with a longer bolt of the same diameter & thread.
* Take a small bracket or piece of metal and insert the bolt through the bracket.
* Place the edge of the bracket on top of the MAP sensor and tighten the bolt
* It may take a little time to get the correct angle (by bending) of the bracket on the MAP sensor. Make sure the bracket is centered on the sensor.
* I also used a spacer and washer to make sure there was no play in the assembly.
A picture is worth a thousand words in this case, but hopefully it makes sense.
