Default PI intake installed....car runs like $hit.

Something is definitely wrong, like it's too lean or too rich. The car is really sluggish and I could barely break the wheels loose when I took off at WOT. I re-installed the Diablo tune thinking that would help, but no. There are also these 2 red vacuum lines that are sucking air, and I can't for the life of me find where they plug back into!! I know it's got something to do with my HVAC controls because now when I turn the **** to vent...floor...mix...etc. nothing happens and it's stuck on defrost.

Here are the pics. Can anyone with a 96-98 GT please look at their car and see where these 2 hoses go? Thanks.

You're in the 2005-2011 section so I'm not sure if we can pinpoint your problem.

I'm not familiar with the PI intake. Did you have your tune revised to take the change in size into account? With the S197 4.0L and 4.6L engines, most any change in intake size requires an updated tune.
