Default Low idle at start up

I just put on an MTI 78mm throttle body and a lingenfelter/weiand intake...and my idle at startup is incredibly low (300-400)rpm, or it may even stall. Any ideas??

Yea about that, my car did the same thing when I did my FAST 78/78 swap. There are two things that you might need to do. First, you need to reset the throttle body possitioning sensor, try search for the procedures. Second, you might need to drill out the idle air hole bigger on the throttle body fly plate, there is a hole on there already but since you are in need of more air to keep the same pressure inside the intake you will to to drill that hole out a bit more to let more air in at idle.
