No not yet its on the to do list though, I am getting the duals on this weekend then school ends the first week of May. I have spoken to my tuner and will be visiting him in early May, I cant wait to see how she acts after the tune!

I still have it too, haven't found the cause yet. I'm doing some car related stuff once the sun comes up, hopefully I'll find it by mistake like usual!

Get some brake cleaner. Spray it around the intake, any gaskets or vacuum lines. If there is a leak your RPMs will bounce around for a second.

from time to time my car does something pretty similar, but i tracked it down to the pcv valve. i swapped it out for the revised one from gm (the ones used on the trucks with just a hole in it and no check valve) and i noticed a strange whistling not too long afterwards. if i pull the hose off at the valve and plug it with my finger it stops. it's not leaking, but it's just the sound of the air going through it. i've learned to live with it because i usually only hear it when i'm sitting still, and there's no way i can hear it over the exhaust once i'm moving.
