Okay, first things first, My buddy and I dropped the tranny, replaced the clutch set, the slave cylinder, and the fly wheel. Then the master cylinder.

all that said and done, I changed the intake with an aftermarket intake.still a cold air, just now it's a cone style cold air. I'm in florida, so this partially makes sense to me.

When I drive down the road, the max speed I can get to is 60. The engine runs rough. occasionally the check engine light comes on then turns off. The light isn't on for more than 2 seconds at a time.

Grab a code reader and pull those codes. Even if the ecl is not illuminated, there can still be pending codes stored in your pcm. I would check out the MAF, in my opinion. Those codes will help you pin point the issue. I kinda had the same problem when I rebuilt the top end on my 4.0 and it ended up being an unplugged camshaft position sensor.
