lol yeah thats a bitch. it seems a lot better now though, the other day when it was raining it was hesitating really bad in the low RPMs and hiccuping when i was going along normally (i had also just jump started it, that might have had something to do with it...left my stupid lights on). But yesterday in the sun it ran pretty good, still a little hesitation under 2400 but not too bad. I'm going to try the clocking thing too if the color code matches up.

just to clarify, when you say "back of the housing" you mean on the MAF housing right? not the aluminum intake tube?

i ordered it from pro3 industries (partshopper.com). I got the whole C&L MAF kit, but it doesnt go into the fenderwall so technically its not a cold air kit. here is a pic:

it came with a plastic shroud to put over the filter that directed air in from the fender but it looked cheesy so i left it off.
