do i have to take my tfs upper off to get it in, or do i just have to angle it the right way? every way i try it ti gets hung up between the intake and shock tower? i know its bigger than stock (i need it that way though to go with my cobra mc), but is there any other way to fit it in other than taking the upper off?

figures.....

does anyone know if any of the chain stores sell the tfs plenum gaskets? thats really the only thing that makes it a bit of a pita for me because both of mine (spacer) tore bad enough to cause a huge vac leak, and i had to use rtv the last time i put it on?

why do you need a new gasket, isnt it metal? My stocker is so i have removed it many times without any issue.

the trick flow upper gasket is that cardboard/paper material. it would be reusable on this part of the intake, but it tore on me from taking the plenum off several times. caused a nice big vac leak and lots of small problems along with that.
