So I started my car after the whole intake swap and the car is running really rough. Checked timing and everything and it just sounds like it is missing or something... Could this be a vac leak???? I checked all hoses and replaced all the old ones. Somebody help

nevermind.... put some new oil in it and filled the coolant the rest of the way up and it is running a lot better. Haven't had a chance to test it out on the street, but the gt40 setup really makes the mustang neigh.
