If you need to get by for a while until you get the thing tuned here is what you can do as the RAF (running airflow) needs to be readjusted with a different sized throttle body. Anyways like others mentioned, turn your idle screw in small increments until you get it to where it will idle correctly.

Now this step is ***important*** as you will not be at 0% throttle position. Turn key off, unplug throttle position sensor, turn key on for 10 seconds or so. Plug tps sensor back in and now you have reset your TPS sensor to 0. Just don't adjust your idle screw too far as you need to stay within a certain range of TPS voltage.

I was going for drivability not high HP numbers. We will race and I will smoke you when your turn blows up and I pass ya.

You two is crazy! Who cares who's is faster. We are all on the same team. If I cared as much about HP as I do appearance, believe me, I would own one of the fastest F-Body's in Oregon/Wa. I choose to put my $$ elsewhere because our cars can pretty much smoke 99.9% of everything driving on the road and I enjoy a clean looking ride
