its from the heater hoses there.
they attach to the firewall from those 2 metal tubes going along the passenger side of the intake.

if your switching from stock then upgrading to the holley may net you a few extra ponies..but nothing earth shattering

yeah the first thing I checked was the heater hoses but thay are ok I am about 75% shure its coming from the lower manifold given the angle the leak is shooting.I just found out today that the president is sending me 1,200 bucks so I have decided to buy 24lbs injectors and a bigger T.B what size would be better the 65mm or the 70mm and dose the MAF need to be calibrated after the new injectors? oh and it has a new 225lph walbrough fuel pump

Well, before you start increasing fuel load, what mods does the car have?
