Default Should I??

Still chasing the demons in my beast. Going to pull the intake, and check fuel reg diaphram and a stripped bolt (inside rear intake runner). Not sure it's my problem, but can't be good. :mad Take time to polish it to. Any other suggerstions while I'm in there??????? And should I remove the frisbe and do the coolant bypass mod.? Living here in NE Tn. gets cold but she stays in a heated garage. And don't see snow. Let me know what ya'll think :crazy: :crazy:
Thanks in advance.
Greg :flag
PS Can't find the post on how to remove the frisbe. :confused:

While in there you might as well:
-install an AFPR set to stock fuel pressure for now
-do the TB coolant bypass
-move the IAT sensor from under the plenum to the air filter lid
-drill & tap that stripped bolt hole and install a heli-coil (see NAPA)
-remove the "frisbee" from the front of the water pump pulley (details on my site)
-install a 160 deg stat & aux fan switch
-port the front & sides of the plenum and upper runner openings
