I dunno how to fix it, but I have known a couple of people that experianced this.<br /><br />If you are looking at getting an aftermarket intake, think about which heads you want. The FR500 will only work on a 99+. HCI has an intake for 96-98 or you can get a modded intake for the 96-98. There are several threads on which heads are best on some of the other sites. It all comes down to the combination.<br /><br />Apex would be a good source for K members and stuff. They remove alot of them to install Griggs pieces. They also swaped a 4V in to a GT a while back so may be able to assist.<br /><br />Good luck! <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
