I figure its definitely supposed to be there, but I dont think my straw is allowing the proper flow, as my idle is 750 in park and drive with the straw, and the old hose when sealed with my thumb produced perfect idle speeds... Im just gonna ask the indy for a Part number and call it a night.

I had no idea it served that significant a purpose though, thanks!
