Default It's alive!!

After 3 months of waiting on part's and money troubles...i got done with the heads/cam install today..spec's are TEA 5.3/4.8 liter stage 2 heads with a custom grind 224/230 .568/.573 114 ...it sound's pretty good <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> it idle's pretty well in my A4 but i looked at my scanner and threw a code that said TPS/throttle position sensor voltage too low...so i cleaned the connection real good and have yet to start it up again because im letting the new valve springs cool down...there is tuning from the ls1 hot cam in the computer from my previous set up..and i have tweaked the TPS for the hot cam to idle..any ideas what it could be? maybe a bad TPS? who know's lol...i guess i will find out in about a week when i go get it tuned...but big thank's to TEA for prompt service and a great set of heads!! they flow 303 int @.600 and 260 exh.@.600.....very niceeee <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
