yet another problem i ended up pulling my lower intake becouse some one stripped the torx that retains the nut kit and upon inspection of the intake when you flip it upside down there is 3 inlet ports on each side were the popits stick through on mine it loks like there is a spot for 1 moore on each side there is a filler looking stuff in whate apears to be another set of intack ports that were never machined through and there is a loose looking aluminum powder falling out of it if you email me directly i can send you a pic pshenkinatcrpud.net i am putting it back on tommorow but i really need to know if this is normal or not really soon thanks in advance

Sounds as though when they cast the intake it is intended to go on more than 1 engine style and they just machine the ports they need depending on the engine it is going to be mounted on. Just my opinion though. You may want to go to S-10forums.com-----registration is free and there is a lot of info regarding the cpi and replacement. I know you have a bravada but ya got a 4.3(awesome motor---got 202K on mine)---- the guys on that sight are very helpful too. Good luck and keep us informed. Sucks about the torx being stripped. Nothin like adding on more time to the job hey.
