ASR keeps cuttin off i have had my SS for almost 2 years...im not the original owner but the car never gives me any problems....i couldnt help but notice that recently my ASR will cut itself off...now it has done this 80%of the time on the highway...but sunday it had done it riding around with abunch of my buddies???.....i was wandering if heat had anything to do with this 
...b/c once it cuts off the car idles around 900-1000rpms...it has cut itself back once(im not TOO worrried but it now is doing this more frequently)...and it normally idles around 650-700...ANY SUGGESTIONS are welcome

I like the 20* cooler intake temperature, the better fuel/air mixing, and the fact that my car will now not surge so bad in the morning after I go carb. EFI is a bitch. Carb is much smoother. My car surges for 5-10 minutes on a cold day, hardly driveable. A carb will richen the mixture at idle (electric choke) and helps stop that crap from happening. It also looks a helluva lot better under the hood than a rats nest of wires, but i guess that is subjective. IF a Carb and EFI have the same A/F ratio through the power band, the carb WILL MAKE more hp due to the fact that it has a cooler intake temperature due to the fuel/air reaction in the manifold and it also uses immulsion instead of just squirting the gas into the base of the intake runner...Superior mixing ability goes to the carb.

They cannot tune an A9L. I offered to spend half a grand on a tune and Lonestar Performance Dynotune in Dallas refused to fix it. THey said they would "try" but im not spending $500 on "try". They advised me to carb it. Should have done so from the beginning imho.
