Alright I have a vacuum noise and I need to find it. I have
a hunch it's that lower intake plenum tube to the backside
of the throttle body but I'm not sure. If it is I'm going
to silicone it and put it back into the throttle body.
Should solve it. If not.. Suggestions?

Get a can of WD-40.  Spray it where you think the leaks are.  The car's RPM will rise when some of the WD gets sucked in.

Works great.

Damn, you beat me to it. lol

Also, be careful with your silicon application when you do find the leak. It's never fun killing a sensor with one, or worse yet, sucking it in to the combustion chamber.

Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

I didn't think of wd-40. Nice one. I also have a fog
machine I'll be using. But I'll do all that after I have my
springs cut.
About the silicone. I won't be going crazy with it.
