Default Just installed SLP lid on LS1, quick question

Ok so I just installed SLP lid on my WS6, I notice the extra power, but I also notice when I first turned it on that the idle was very low, but quickly picked up. I notice that every time I accelerate then put it into (N) the RPMs fall well below 1 almost feels like the car is about to shut off but it does not, is this normal? When I was removing the MAF I dropped it by accident but did not see any damage to the small sensors. I have an M6 so I am not sure if that makes a difference?

How long has it been doing it? Mine does that every time I unhook the battery. Goes away after a few drives. My guess would be the IAC valve needs to learn the new flow. Just a guess tho.

This is the first time I've disconnected the battery. I just installed it about an hour ago and only took couple drives around the block, maybe I have the same problem as you.

Maybe. Take it for a good half hour drive if you can. Usually the computer has established fuel trims and everything else by then. If it doesn't go away I don't know what else to do. Mine always goes away so I never worry about it.

It should be fine after driving like 20 mins OR you hurt the MAF (prolly not, unless you touched the wires).

Should be fine, check for vac leaks.
