I would check the hoses first. Also make sure the PTC is sealing good. They are known to leak there to.

Good point. I have the sonceman intake pipe so I guess it's a possibility.

Double and triple check everything to make 100% sure all is good! You never know one small stupid thing can cause an issue.

Also just came to me do you have the one nipple in the intake behind the power steering pump?
If so double check and make sure the nipple did not blow off. Also check at the vacuum tree if you do not have clamps on the vacuum lines. I have blown a few off at only 12 PSI.

Yeah, I have the nipple on it, the PCV is hooked up to that. I'll recheck all my vac lines to make sure they're in order. I'd rather be rich than lean, but I still don't like it when it's not working exactly the way it should be.

Except once I got down there I realized that the grind had come back. It went 500 miles after fresh OEM trans fluid without doing it once. So today I'm going to go get some GM Synchromesh to try, see how that goes. Pretty frustrating.

On a brighter note, the meet was a lot of fun and met some cool people. So pretty badass cars too. Everyone's car was built in some way, especially the gray, teal, black, and red S70s, those cars are very quick.

Yeah. Red car is leroystew, the black S70 with gold wheels is Black T5M, there's elprassi with the SR (something like that), 550, fischamma, Smithwicks, S8E T6, JVC (without his S80 obviously). I think that's all. Might be forgetting one or two, but I don't think so.
