Default Intake Backfire

Slowly but surely getting this project in shape. Recently added taylor wires, Long tubes and y-pipe minus all emissions. Emissions shut down. New O2's (OEM). MSD coil. Plugs done within last 1000 miles. So now I notice an intake backfire. Always there but more noticeable now that I have other problems ironed out. In park, nuetral, or any quick stab of the pedal it will sometimes do it. Not 100% of the time but more than enough. When I did the coil the ICM had some corrosion around it that concerned me. Could this be a cause? If not what else could I be looking at?

generally intake backfire's are caused by timing issues or fuel puddleing but your's maybe somethng as simple as a vacuum leak?

Great. This sounds like more and more fun. Time to start searching through some things I suppose.
