My car whistles at part throttle, something to do with the BBK tbody... 80-90 mph is pretty fast to hear a whistle coming from the engine, you sure its not coming from air rushing into the car(old weather stripping)

It's not as much of a whistle noise as it is a sucking/drawing air noise. It's the K&N. At part throttle you can hear the air being sucked across the K&N. Pretty cool sound...

mine's done it even more after i installed my GT40 intake, 76mm MAF and new K&N. Its a lot louder. Almost makes me scared that it could be a vacuum leak.

At idle, my car absolutely howls. It's the engine trying so hard to pull air past the closed throttle body . If you have your head under the hood and you blip the throttle to WOT, the initial rush of air is loud enough to make your ears hurt .

Yup, mine has the whistling sound too. I notice it more when a friend is driving and I have the window down while riding in the passenger side.

Yeah my friend asked if I had a blower when he heard the air going through the K&N on top of one of my accecories that sounds like a faint blower whine. I think it's the power steering pump, and it's probably a bad thing, lol. Too bad the car is way slower than it sounds
