lt1 vaccum leak help my tuner says my map readings are sky high. I did the old carb choke spray test with no results. my air intake has a slight rip where it connects to the throttle body. when i apply pressure the idle changes. could this be my leak? its no small leak either cause the car is way down on power. any thoughts?

If its between the MAF sensor and TB the computer will consider it a vacuum leak and compensate by changing fuel. Cover it with duct tape and see how it effects idle and fuel mixture.

You might as well just buy a high-flow bellow with the silencer removed...or get one of the elbows from jegs.http://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS-Performan...87064/10002/-1
