Low idle after LT/ORY install. After LT and ORY install, I've changed the plug wires (Autolite Proffessional) and had the Y-pipe welded in so I don't have any leaks and it still feels a little soggy on acceleration and jumpy in drive. In drive, it idles at about 500 and sometimes jumps between 400 and barely 600. I'm lost now, what else should I do? Any suggestions.......ANYONE.

Mine wouldn't idle at all after the LT install. Of course this was without a Ypipe as I was running open headers. I had to keep it running with my foot on the throttle for a couple of minutes. Once the PCM learned the new idle valve positions she idles fine. I would drive it some and see what happens.....it might straighten itself out.

What about a break-in period, is there any? I currently only put about 75 miles on the headers. At what mileage should the PCM adjust itself?

Do as Ragtop suggested. Do the Idle reset by pulling the IAC harness, turning your ignition to the "on" position (don't start the car) for 30 seconds, turn it off, reattach the harness, and then start the car. Adjust the throttle body screw out a little if needed.
Do NOT drill your throttle body blade at this point.
